2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MV64 VGJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in mechanical and structural degradation. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 74,737 miles was a pass, it followed a failure involving multiple electrical faults and suspension issues. The recurring presence of corroded brake pipes and worn suspension bushes across several years suggests that repairs are only addressed reactively during testing rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with 4,531 miles covered between November 2024 and January 2026, and roughly 5,100 miles between November 2023 and November 2024. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been under heavy load, but the age of the components explains the persistent corrosion and perishing of rubber elements noted in the recent advisories. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sills and outer vehicle structure, as the November 2024 test flagged corrosion that has not yet compromised structural rigidity but is likely to progress. Particular attention should be paid to the front brake pipes, which have been flagged for corrosion and obscured by grease since at least 2026. The front suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar bushes show a consistent history of wear, indicating that the front assembly is nearing the end of its service life. The steering system should also be checked for increased leaks, as seepage noted in 2022 has not been confirmed cleared. Given the January 2026 advisory regarding cracking and perishing rear tyres, the age of the rubber should be evaluated regardless of the remaining tread depth. The history of uneven park brake effort and worn discs indicates that the braking system requires a professional assessment to ensure consistent performance and safety.
