2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · NK64 HRG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding the braking system components. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 71,560 miles, it failed just two days prior due to an inoperative engine management indicator light and insufficient washer fluid. The recurring flagging of all four brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored indicates that the vehicle likely sat for long periods between uses, leading to significant surface corrosion rather than simple mechanical wear. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 29,281 miles covered between the November 2024 test at 42,279 miles and the October 2025 test at 71,560 miles. This rapid burst of activity following years of low usage explains the sudden degradation of the brake discs, which suffer from sticking and oxidation when a vehicle is not used regularly to clear them. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the brake lines, as testers flagged corrosion across multiple pipes in 2022 and 2023. The presence of grease on these pipes suggests an attempt to mask structural rust from the tester, which is a concern for hydraulic integrity. Additionally, verify that the engine management light issue noted in the October 2025 failure was properly rectified and not merely cleared, as an inoperative MIL often masks underlying sensor or ECU issues.
