2014 Ford Transit 135 T430 RWD 2.2L Diesel · WH63 EYZ

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident through five consecutive years of clean MOT results, culminating in a pass on 14 January 2026 with no recorded defects. This sequence of tests from 2021 through to early 2026 shows a stable mechanical profile, as the vehicle has transitioned through multiple annual inspections without any recorded failures or advisories regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or lighting. The vehicle exhibits an unusually low mileage profile for a 2014 model, having covered only 30,384 miles over its twelve-year lifespan. This equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 2,532 miles, which is significantly lower than the typical usage expected for a Ford Transit commercial vehicle. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on high-friction components like the drivetrain and engine internals, such a low rate of use can also indicate extended periods of inactivity or very short-distance journeys, which can impact the condition of rubber seals and fluid degradation. Given the lack of recorded advisories for components such as suspension bushes, brake pipes, or exhaust corrosion, a test drive should focus on verifying that the low usage has not led to seized components or perished rubber parts. Listen for any knocking or clunking sounds from the suspension linkages when navigating uneven surfaces, which could indicate that bushes have hardened or perished due to lack of movement. Check for any pulling to one side or steering heaviness, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes experience issues with steering rack components or tyre flat-spotting if left stationary for long periods. The absence of recorded oil misting or leaks in the MOT history suggests the engine and gearbox seals have remained intact, but it is prudent to inspect the engine bay for any signs of weeping around the sump or timing cover. During the test drive, monitor the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or excessive travel, and ensure there is no judder under braking, as even low-mileage vehicles can experience uneven brake disc corrosion if they are not driven frequently enough to clear surface oxidation.
