2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · PO64 VGK

The vehicle presents a concerning history of deferred maintenance regarding its braking system and structural integrity. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 121,911 miles, this followed a significant failure just one week prior. The March 2026 failure revealed a critical hydraulic leak on a corroded nearside front brake pipe and low brake fluid levels, which prevented a full brake performance test. The recurring presence of heavy corrosion across all four brake pipes and the front sub-frame since 2024 suggests a pattern where owners only address faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 121,911 miles over twelve years, the Transit has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical commercial use for this age. However, the data shows a clear trend of worsening wear on suspension components. In March 2024, the tester flagged worn front suspension arm bushes and a rear bush. By March 2025, these issues had escalated to a failure due to excessively worn bushes and a perished offside front tyre. The 2026 record indicates that the front and rear brake discs are now pitted and scored, suggesting they have reached the end of their effective service life. Structural attention is required regarding the corrosion noted on the front sub-frame and the inner wheel arches. While the records consistently describe this as not seriously weakened, the persistence of this rust over three years indicates that the vehicle is susceptible to rapid environmental degradation. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the depth of the scaling on the sub-frame to ensure the corrosion has not progressed into a structural failure. Given the history of leaking hydraulic lines and deteriorating suspension bushings, the vehicle likely requires immediate further investment to remain roadworthy in the near future.
