2014 Ford Transit 100 T350 RWD 2.2L Heavy oil · YR63 AEC

The vehicle presents a history of intermittent failures that have recently moved into stability. In the most recent test in August 2024 at 162,770 miles, the Transit passed without any recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical or structural issues have been addressed. However, the record shows a failure in August 2023 at 161,204 miles and another in May 2022 at 156,716 miles. These recurring failures within relatively short windows suggest a vehicle that required reactive maintenance to meet minimum standards rather than following a strictly preventative schedule. At 162,770 miles over 12 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 13,500 miles per annum. This is consistent with light to moderate use, though the high mileage places significant stress on wear components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and braking hardware. The gap between the May 2022 and August 2022 tests shows only 29 miles driven, which often indicates a period of inactivity or very short trips that can lead to fluid degradation or tyre flat spots. Since that period, the mileage has increased steadily, covering over 6,000 miles in the last year. The transition from multiple failures to a clean sheet in the 2024 test suggests the specific faults flagged by the tester previously were rectified. A prospective buyer should still verify the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension system, as these are common failure points on vans of this age and mileage. Given the history of failures, a physical inspection of the brake discs thickness and the exhaust for through-corrosion is necessary, as the MOTulation only confirms the state of these parts at the specific moment of the test.
