2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SB64 GVT

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend characterized by significant and recurring degradation of the braking and suspension systems. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 157,793 miles, this followed just three days after a failure that revealed an extensive list of defects. The transition from excessively corroded brake pipes in the failure to corroded pipes covered in grease in the pass suggests that reactive repairs were made rather than preventative maintenance. The persistent presence of a coolant leak indicates an ongoing cooling issue that remains unresolved. At 12 years old, the Transit has covered 157,793 miles, averaging approximately 13,150 miles per year. This high mileage profile is consistent with heavy commercial use, which explains the accelerated wear on heavy mechanical components. Between November 2023 and October 2025, the vehicle covered nearly 18,000 miles, showing consistent operational use. However, the jump from a clean record in November 2024 to a multitude of failures in late 2025 suggests that the vehicle has reached a point where components are failing simultaneously due to a rapid interval. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the entire braking circuit and front suspension geometry. The record repeatedly flags corrosion across multiple brake pipes and hoses, which poses a high risk of future failure if the corrosion is structural. The noisy nearside front wheel bearing and the deteriorated ball joint dust cover indicate that the front end components are nearing the end of their service life. Attention should also be paid to the source of the coolant leak and the condition of the exhaust system, which showed major leaks and missing sections in 2023.
