2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · TV02 BUS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred attention regarding braking components. While the most recent test in November 2025 passed at 65,606 miles, the vehicle initially failed that test due to a faulty windscreen wiper and a worn front tyre. The recurring presence of pitted brake discs and corroded brake pipes across three consecutive years suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 12 years old with 65,606 miles, this Transit has clocked significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. This low usage pattern is evident in the data, showing a gap of only 6,555 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. However, low mileage often correlates with accelerated corrosion on metal components that remain. The noted corrosion on the brake pipes and pitting on the discs are classic symptoms of a vehicle that sits for long periods, allowing moisture to settle without the protective effect of regular use. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front brake system. The corrosion on the nearside and offside front brake pipes has been flagged since 2023, indicating a long-term issue that could eventually lead to fluid leaks if not replaced. The buyer should also check the condition of the suspension, as the 2025 failure noted a nearside tyre worn on the edge, which often points to alignment issues. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, an inspection of the chassis for structural rust is essential to ensure that the low use has not masked underlying environmental degradation.
