2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SF14 XLP

This Ford Transit demonstrates an exemplary record of roadworthiness, characterized by five consecutive years of MOT passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. This level of consistency, concluding with the clean pass on 28 August 2025, indicates a vehicle that has remained mechanically stable and compliant with DVSA standards over a significant period. With a recorded mileage of 74,433 miles over twelve years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,203 miles per annum. This usage profile is typical for a light commercial vehicle of this age, avoiding the extreme wear associated with high-mileage fleet use while remaining active enough to prevent the deterioration often seen in vehicles that spend prolonged periods stationary. Given the absence of historical advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake component wear, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the current condition of these consumables. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering precision and listen for any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which would indicate the onset of wear in the suspension linkages that has not yet reached a reportable threshold. Check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay or oil misting on the chassis, as these are common points of failure for this model that may not always be flagged unless they become severe. Ensure the brake pedal feel is firm and consistent without any judder or pulling to one side under heavy braking, confirming that the calipers and discs remain in the condition suggested by the clean MOT record.
