2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MK14 WKT

The vehicle presents a mixed roadworthiness profile, with the maintenance trend suggesting a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test on 17 May 2022 passed with no recorded defects, it followed an immediate failure on the same day for nearside headlamps and a faulty windscreen washer. This indicates that the previous owner only addressed faults once they triggered an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. Given that the last recorded test occurred over four years ago, the vehicle is currently significantly overdue for an MOT, which raises concerns regarding its current mechanical state and legal compliance. Mileage data is insufficient to establish a clear usage pattern. The record shows 342,161 miles at the test on 3 June 2020, which reflects a high-mileage life consistent with a commercial Ford Transit. However, there are no mileage figures provided for the 2021 or 2022 tests, making it impossible to determine the current rate of accumulation or if the vehicle has sat stationary since the high-mile figure reported six years ago. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems due to recurring mechanical issues. The nearside front wheel bearing was flagged for play in both 2020 and 2021, suggesting a persistent fault that may not be properly rectified. The 2021 test also noted corroded front brake pipes and pitted brake discs, which are common signs of age-related degradation on high-mileage vans. Special attention should be paid to the rear anti-roll bar bushes and pins, as the history shows a trend of wear in these areas that likely requires replacement to ensure vehicle stability.
