2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YG64 WHF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 158,615 miles passed, it highlighted several recurring issues including corroded brake pipes and a severely deteriorated CV boot. The persistence of corroded front brake pipes across the last three tests suggests that these components were only addressed when they reached a point of failure rather than being replaced during routine servicing. At 158,615 miles, this 12-year-old Transit has clocked high mileage, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. The record shows consistent use, with 14,290 miles covered between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, and another 14,224 miles accumulated between December 2024 and April 2026. This high mileage puts significant strain on heavy-duty commercial vehicle components, which is consistent with the failures seen in the steering rack and drive joints noted in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system due to the persistent corrosion on the brake pipes. The tester noted grease covering these pipes, which often indicates an attempt to mask rust or hide leaks. Furthermore, the offside play in the steering rack inner joints reported in late 2024 requires a close check to ensure there is no excessive steering play or mechanical play. The offside front CV boot has also been a point of failure previously and should be inspected for fresh grease leakage which would indicate imminent joint failure. The electronic history also presents cause for concern following the December 2023 failure involving ABS, SRS, and electronic stability control warning lights. While these were reportedly cleared, a prospective buyer should verify that no warning lights remain active during a test drive. Given the high mileage and the nature of the mechanical faults, the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension bushes should be examined for signs of heavy wear and fatigue.
