2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SF14 XKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 13 February 2026 at 165,338 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a repetitive pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. Specifically, the vehicle failed on 11 February 2026 at 165,333 miles and again on 26 February 2025 at 154,487 miles, only to pass the subsequent retest. This suggests the vehicle frequently requires minor remedial work to meet minimum standards, though no specific mechanical defects were documented in the logs. The mileage accumulation is high for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,778 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with the mileage increasing by roughly 7,000 miles between the March 2024 test and the February 2025 test, and another 10,000 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This steady increase indicates regular commercial or heavy-duty use rather than long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody and suspension components. Given the high mileage and the pattern of failed retests, I recommend checking for excessive corrosion on the chassis and subframes. You should also inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as well as the brake discs and calipers for signs of uneven wear or binding. The lack of specific advisory notes in the recent history means the MOT record does not explicitly highlight current issues with tyres or wiper blades. However, the high annual mileage suggests that consumables like brake pads and clutches may be nearing the end of their service life. A mechanical inspection of the drivetrain and engine components is advised to ensure the vehicle can withstand continued high-mileage operation.
