2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MJ63 VTU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT on 16 December 2025 at 62,686 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care. The vehicle failed just one day prior at 62,681 miles due to significantly worn front inner brake discs and a faulty rear registration plate lamp. While these issues were rectified to achieve the recent pass, the history suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach a point of failure during the annual inspection. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 62,686 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,224 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with roughly 3,000 miles driven between each of the December 2023 and December 2025 tests. This low annual mileage often leads to accelerated age-related degradation of components rather than mechanical wear, which is evidenced by the recurring failures of the drive shaft CV boots and suspension bushes noted in the 2023 and 2024 records. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension and drivetrain components, as the tester flagged worn suspension arm bushes in early 2023 and a deteriorated offside front CV boot in both 2023 and 2024. The recurring mentions of worn and pitted brake discs across multiple years indicate that the braking system is being allowed to run until the components reach safety limits. Given the low mileage, check for significant corrosion on the exposed brake discs and perished rubber components, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods between uses.
