2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SC14 HWT

A clean bill of roadworthiness defines this 2014 Ford Transit's MOT record, with no advisories or defects recorded across any of the documented tests. The most recent assessment on 2025-10-24 returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a stable trend that stretches back through the 2023 and 2022 tests, each also passed without a single advisory note. The only blemish is a fail logged on 2024-10-24 which, unusually, shows no defect entries and was immediately followed by a pass on the same date, strongly suggesting an administrative or retest event rather than a genuine mechanical failure. Across the entire documented history the vehicle has presented no recurring component concerns, no advisories on suspension, braking, exhaust, or corrosion, and no flagged items that would hint at developing faults. Mileage accumulation sits broadly in line with expectations for a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, with 107,061 miles recorded against an average of roughly 8,922 miles per year. This is a typical working van profile and suggests the vehicle has been in regular service rather than left standing for extended periods, which is beneficial for keeping seals, brakes, drivetrain components, and the diesel particulate filter in healthy working order. There are no notable gaps in the testing history that would imply long lay-ups, and no sudden spikes in mileage between tests that might suggest the odometer has been altered or that the van has been subjected to unusual use. The mileage progression therefore reads as consistent and credible for a working Transit of this age. For a prospective buyer, the absence of any recorded advisories means there are no specific flagged components to target during inspection, but the general mechanical character of a high-mileage diesel Transit of this age still warrants careful attention. On a test drive, listen for any clonks or knocks from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, particularly from the anti-roll bar drop links, wishbone bushes, and front strut top mountings, as these are common wear items on Transits even when not flagged at test. Check for uneven tyre wear across both axles, as this can reveal tracking issues or worn suspension geometry, and pay particular attention to the rear springs, which on this generation are prone to sagging under load. The braking system should be evaluated by feel, looking for any pulling to one side under firm pedal pressure, a spongy pedal suggesting air or seal wear in the servo, or vibration through the pedal indicating warped front discs, all common on Transits that have seen sustained motorway or urban delivery work. Inspect the underside closely for any oil misting from the engine or gearbox, signs of weeping around the power steering rack, and the condition of the brake pipes and fuel lines along the chassis rails, where Transit-specific corrosion can begin before it reaches MOT failure thresholds. Finally, cold-start behaviour and any signs of turbo lag, excessive smoke, or EGR-related rough running are worth probing, as the diesel emissions system on later Transits can be a hidden cost area not visible in a clean MOT record.
