Our Verdict
Exercise caution with this vehicle. Whil
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and braking system. Given the August 2024 failure for corroded brake pipes and damaged suspension components, you should verify that these repairs were carried out to a professional standard. Check for any remaining corrosion on the underside, as this is a common failure point for the Transit model.
The 2.2L diesel engine is designed for utility, but maintenance costs typically increase as vehicles exceed 140,000 miles. You should budget for frequent replacements of suspension bushings and brake components, as evidenced by this vehicle's recent history. Fuel economy will vary based on load, but insurance and road tax for a 2014 Transit are generally moderate for the class.
Carefully inspect the rear suspension, specifically the shock absorbers and bump stops, which were flagged as damaged and weakened in 2024. Check the brake pipes for any further signs of corrosion beyond the offside rear pipe already recorded. Additionally, check the condition of all seat belts and buckles, as these have been recurring failure points in both 2023 and 2024.
This 2014 white Ford Transit 2.2L diesel has covered 146,946 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures in 2023 and 2024, specifically involving brake pipe corrosion, suspension components, and exhaust leaks. The vehicle's record indicates it frequently requires repairs to pass its annual inspection.
The Ford Transit has an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with corrosion, headlamps, and tyres being the most frequent causes of failure.
