2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · ST05 EDS

The roadworthiness status of this Ford Transit is currently sound, supported by a clean pass recorded on February 23 2026 at 74,132 miles. The maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, mirroring the results of the four preceding annual inspections where no defects or advisories were noted. This sequence of faultless tests indicates that the vehicle met the statutory minimum roadworthiness standards at each yearly presentation without requiring recorded remedial work. The mileage accumulation follows a consistent and predictable trajectory across the recorded history. The vehicle accumulated mileage from an unspecified earlier total to reach 74,132 miles by February 2026, averaging roughly six thousand miles annually over its lifetime. Annual inspections occurred reliably every February between 2022 and 2026, showing no extended gaps in testing or erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest long periods of dormancy or severe commercial overworking. Despite the unblemished test record, physical inspection must focus on underlying mechanical and structural components that escape visual checks during a standard MOT. Commercial vehicles of this age frequently suffer from chassis corrosion, heavy wear on suspension bushes, and fatigue in leaf springs due to load carriage. A thorough examination of the braking system, including brake discs, pads, and caliper operation, remains essential alongside checking the steering joints and powertrain for oil leaks before finalizing a purchase.
