2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · XP02 ELL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT indicates a significant lapse in basic maintenance. While it passed the test on 11 August 2025 at 151,672 miles, it initially failed due to missing road wheel fixings across all four wheels. This suggests a period of neglected upkeep. The presence of a corroded offside front suspension arm during that same test shows that structural oxidation is beginning to affect the chassis components, requiring close monitoring to prevent failure. At 151,672 miles, this 2014 Transit has averaged approximately 12,600 miles per year, which is consistent with a commercial use profile. The mileage accumulation shows steady growth, with 15,363 miles recorded between July 2023 and August 2024, and another 3,539 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not sat idle for long periods, but the high total mileage places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems compared to a lower-use equivalent. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically focusing on the offside front suspension arm where corrosion was noted. Because the vehicle previously lacked road wheel fixings on all corners, the integrity of the wheel hubs and bolts should be verified to ensure no threads are stripped or components improperly fitted. Given the age and mileage-related history of corrosion, the inspection should also check for deeper structural rust on the subframe and mounting points to ensure the reported decay is not progressing beyond surface-level issues.
