2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MV64 VGK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 61,660 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a perishing nearside rear outer tyre, this follows a period in late 2024 where an offside rear wheel bearing was flagged for play. The overall status appears stable for now, the history suggests that components are only addressed once they approach a failure threshold. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 5,138 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between May 2022 at 45,121 miles and October 2023 at 51,038 miles, where the vehicle sat stationary for over 17 months. Since that period, the van has covered roughly 10,600 miles in two years, indicating more consistent use. This low-mile pattern often leads to degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the recurring reports of tyre perishing and cracking across multiple inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically the brake pipes. The October 2023 failure was caused by excessive corrosion on all four brake pipes, and although these were replaced to pass the subsequent test, the presence of such rust suggests the vehicle may have operated in a harsh environment or lacked regular cleaning. The offside rear wheel bearing noted in December 2024 should also be verified to ensure it was properly replaced, as bearing play indicates imminent mechanical failure. Given the age and low mileage, checking the chassis for structural rot and the suspension bushes for dry cracking is essential to ensure long-term integrity.
