2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · ND63 MDN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in structural integrity. While it passed its most recent test on 1 May 2026 at 130,091 miles, this followed a significant failure just one week prior. The April 24 failure revealed critical structural corrosion on the offside sill and holes in the rear bodywork, indicating that the vehicle is entering a phase where rust-related degradation is beginning to outpace basic bulb-related maintenance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical commercial use cycle for this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the vehicle covered roughly 11,000 miles with no recorded defects. However, the jump of nearly 9,300 miles between April 2025 and April 2026 coincides with the appearance of multiple mechanical and structural faults. This suggests that while the annual mileage is predictable, the physical toll on the van is accelerating the wear of the chassis and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside sill and rear bed area to verify the quality of the repairs made following the April 2026 failure. The record notes that a previous repair was covered in underseal in 2025, which can sometimes be used to mask active corrosion underneath. Furthermore, the nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover was flagged as severely deteriorated in the latest test. You should also inspect the hub seal mentioned on the offside rear brake disc to ensure the fluid leak that caused the previous contamination has been fully rectified.
