2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SF04 CUS

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 24 July 2025 at 148,402 miles, indicating a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories during the last three annual inspections suggests a consistent standard of maintenance and a lack of chronic mechanical issues. While the vehicle failed twice in 2023 and 2024, these were immediate re-tests conducted within 24 hours that resulted in a clean pass, likely indicating administrative errors or minor rectifications rather than systemic mechanical failure. With a total of 148,402 miles over 12 years, the vehicle averages approximately 12,367 miles annually. This consistent accumulation of mileage points to regular, long-distance use rather than short, stop-start urban cycles which often accelerate wear on clutches and cooling systems. The record shows no significant gaps in testing, confirming the vehicle has remained in active service throughout its life. The steady mileage progression suggests the engine and drivetrain have been subjected to sustained operating temperatures, which is generally preferable to long periods of inactivity. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that often escape MOT scrutiny, such as the condition of the dual-mass flywheel, clutch engagement, and turbocharger integrity. Given the high mileage, inspect the suspension bushes, ball joints, and steering rack for play, as these items endure significant stress in a Transit of this age. Check the chassis rails and sills for signs of corrosion or previous repairs, as structural integrity is paramount for a commercial vehicle of this vintage. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, a thorough check of the service book for oil change intervals remains essential to confirm that the engine has received the lubrication necessary to support this level of mileage.
