2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · NJ64 ULT

The vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 16 October 2025 at 127,398 miles, yet the maintenance trend indicates emerging mechanical wear requiring attention. The record remained largely clean between 2022 and 2024, but the latest test introduced specific advisories regarding corrosion and steering play. This shift suggests the vehicle is moving from a period of stable upkeep into a phase where age-related deterioration is becoming evident, particularly within the braking and steering systems. Mileage progression indicates heavy but consistent commercial use. The odometer rose from 76,936 miles in November 2022 to 127,398 miles by October 2025, accumulating over 50,000 miles in three years. Such high annual mileage places significant strain on mechanical components, implying the van has served as a workhorse rather than a lightly used asset. The current date places the vehicle eight months past its last test, meaning a fresh MOT will be due shortly. Buyers should closely examine the offside front brake pipe and the offside track rod end ball joint flagged in the 2025 test. The tester noted a corroded brake pipe obscured by grease, which demands a physical check for structural integrity, and slight play in the steering joint usually precedes failure. Given the offside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit, inspect the remaining tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns that could result from the flagged steering defect. Verify the headlamp aim has not drifted since the rectification of the beam image failure in November 2023.
