2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · PO64 VGA

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred repairs regarding corrosion components. The most recent test in March 2026 at 97,688 miles shows that several issues from previous years persist, specifically the pitted front brake discs and the offside power steering hose. While the vehicle has passed each inspection, the recurring nature of these advisories suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they approach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. The data shows steady usage between tests, moving from 85,134 miles in May 2022 to 97,688 miles by March 2026. This linear accumulation indicates the van has not sat idle for long periods, which generally benefits the engine seals, but the age-related wear is evident in the slow-onset degradation of rubber components and the oxidation of metal surfaces noted throughout the record. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front braking system and hydraulic lines. Corrosion on both the nearside and offside front brake pipes has appeared in every test since 2022, indicating a vulnerability to rust or the use of grease that may mask further structural decay. The front brake discs have been flagged as pitted for four consecutive years, suggesting they are nearing the end of their effective life. Additionally, the corroded offside power steering pipe requires close monitoring for leaks or structural thinning, as it has remained a known issue since at least 2025.
