2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · RF63 KWS

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 January 2025 at 165,754 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2020, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy state without the recurring failures often associated with high-mileage commercial vans. The mileage is high for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,813 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, with 12,251 miles added between October 2021 and November 2022, and 15,649 miles between November 2022 and November 2023. The most recent interval shows a significant drop in usage, with only 15,632 miles covered over the last 20 months. This suggests a shift in the vehicle's operational role or a period of lighter use. Despite the absence of MOT advisories, the high total mileage necessitates a focused physical inspection of wear-and-tear components. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these typically degrade under the stress of 165,000 miles. The brake discs and pads should be checked for thickness, and the calipers tested for binding, as these are consumables that may have been replaced between tests but are not always flagged until they reach a critical limit. Particular attention must be paid to the chassis and underbody for corrosion. While the MOT records show no structural failures, Ford Transits of this era are prone to rust in the sills and load area. Checking for oil leaks around the engine and gearbox is also essential to ensure the drivetrain has been properly lubricated throughout its high-mileage life.
