2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SD63 ABZ

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, having failed its most recent test on 21 July 2024. While the record shows a stable trend of passes between 2022 and 2023, the most recent failure leaves the current roadworthiness status unconfirmed. The absence of specific defect descriptions in the failure entries is unusual and suggests a need for a full physical inspection to identify the exact cause of the 2024 rejection. The odometer shows 211,172 miles, averaging roughly 17,598 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. This is high usage for a Transit, though the mileage accumulation remains consistent. Between 1 June 2022 and 21 July 2024, the vehicle covered 21,056 miles, confirming it has remained in active service. The lack of recorded defects across multiple tests suggests a history of preemptive maintenance or a very lenient testing regime. A buyer must prioritise a thorough check of the chassis and underbody for corrosion, as high-mileage Transits are prone to structural rust that may not always be flagged if the vehicle is cleaned before testing. Given the total mileage, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain mounts likely show significant wear regardless of the clean MOT history. The braking system requires a manual check for binding calipers and disc thickness. Because the 2024 test resulted in a failure without listed defects, the buyer should verify if the vehicle failed on a major mechanical fault or a simple administrative error. A professional inspection of the exhaust emissions and engine seals is recommended to ensure the high-mileage powerplant remains efficient.
