2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SF14 XLD

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with six clean passes and one minor advisory over seven recorded tests. This stable trend is evidenced by the most recent pass on 5 April 2023, which recorded no defects or advisories, following a multi-year pattern of zero failures. The recorded mileage of 74,680 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,223 miles over its twelve-year lifespan. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a balanced load on the drivetrain and chassis components, avoiding the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commercial use while avoiding the risks of prolonged stagnation. The only recorded defect in the vehicle's history was a nail in the offside rear tyre during the 2017 inspection. While this was a minor, isolated incident, a current inspection should verify the condition and tread depth of all tyres to ensure they meet legal requirements and show even wear across the carcass. Given the absence of recorded failures or advisories regarding the chassis or braking system, a test drive should focus on verifying the smoothness of the steering and the absence of any knocks or rattles from the suspension over uneven surfaces. Any pedal judder or pulling under braking should be noted, as these would be the first indicators of wear not yet captured in the historical DVSA data.
