2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · NA14 XSD

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in February 2026 at 181,068 miles where no defects were recorded. This follows a period of clean passes in early 2025 and early 2023. While a single failure was noted in October 2023, the immediate retest on the same day indicates that the owner addressed the identified faults promptly to return the vehicle to a legal standard. At 181,068 miles, this 12-year-old Transit has covered an average of over 15,000 miles per year, which aligns with heavy commercial use. Between March 2025 and February 2026, the vehicle clocked 10,741 miles in just eleven months, showing a consistent and high-intensity usage pattern. This rapid mileage accumulation places significant stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems, yet the lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests these mechanical systems have been well-maintained despite the high annual mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and wear items common to high-mileage Transit vans. Given the heavy usage, examine the chassis for corrosion on the sills and mounting points, where road salt often accumulates over time. You should also inspect the condition of the shock absorbers and coil springs for signs of sagging or leaking, as high mileage typically accelerates the degradation of rubber components. While the MOT record is currently clean, a manual check of brake pad thickness and tyre condition is necessary to ensure the consumables are not nearing the end of their service life between tests.
