2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YC14 AFO

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having achieved a clean pass in its most recent test conducted on February 2026 at 226,051 miles. This indicates a stable maintenance trend following a single failure in March 2025. Since that 2025 failure, the record shows no recorded defects or advisories, suggesting that the previous owner addressed any immediate mechanical concerns and maintained the vehicle to a passing standard over the final year. The mileage profile reflects heavy commercial usage for a twelve-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 18,800 miles per annum. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the vehicle covered 16,997 miles, followed by a more intensive period of 16,906 miles leading into the March 2025 test. This consistent high-mile pattern suggests the van has been used for regular work, which puts significant cumulative stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage examples of similar age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the 226,000-mile mark, a thorough look at the suspension bushes, wish arms, and coil springs is necessary, as these often fatigue under heavy loads. The braking system should also be checked for thin discs or seized calipers, as the high annual mileage indicates rapid component depletion. While the recent MOT is clean, the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points must be verified for corrosion to ensure the high usage hasn't compromised the frame's longevity.
