2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · PO64 VGF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a period of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While it passed the test in October 2025 at 64,463 miles, the immediate failure just three days prior at 64,460 miles revealed a significant list of mechanical deficiencies. The trend shows a sharp decline from a clean record in 2022 to a cluster of failures in 2025, suggesting that components were only addressed once they reached a failure point. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 5,372 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage with a 4,710-mile gap between 2024 and 2025, and another 4,870 miles the year prior. However, low mileage often correlates with accelerated degradation of rubber components and braking systems due to stationary periods. The failure of the CV boot and the rough wheel bearing at 64,460 miles supports the theory that age-related wear is occurring despite the low total odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly. The 2025 failure flagged excessive wear on the anti-roll bar ball joint and the track rod end, alongside a rough wheel bearing, which should be verified to ensure these were replaced with quality parts. The corroded offside rear brake pipe remains a recurring concern; although it passed as an advisory, the presence of grease covering the corrosion often hides structural decay that can lead to a sudden rupture. Attention is also required for the braking system and bodywork. The 2025 failure noted thin brake pads on both rear wheels, so the buyer should confirm the remaining friction life. The damage to the upper windscreen appears to be a persistent issue dating back to at least 2023, which should be checked for cracks that might compromise the structural integrity of the glass. Given the deteriorated registration plates and damaged mirrors, the overall condition of the exterior should be evaluated for meeting current legal standards.
