2014 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YT64 XHB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-14 was passed, but recurring advisories highlight persistent mechanical concerns. The Offside Front Wheel bearing has shown slight play across multiple tests, including the latest inspection, suggesting ongoing wear that may progress if unaddressed. The Offside Rear Tyre has repeatedly approached or met legal limits, indicating potential neglect in tyre maintenance. While the 2025 test resolved some issues, the reappearance of front suspension arm pin or bush wear and brake disc pitting in prior records points to a stable but unresolved trend of component degradation. The mileage of 147,128 miles aligns with a consistent annual usage pattern, averaging approximately 12,261 miles per year since 2017. This steady accumulation shows no significant gaps or periods of inactivity, reflecting regular use that has accelerated wear on high-mileage components. The absence of prolonged storage or low-mileage intervals reduces the likelihood of sudden mechanical failures but exacerbates stress on suspension, brakes, and tyres. The data suggests the vehicle has been maintained with a focus on compliance rather than proactive upkeep, as recurring advisories were addressed only when necessary. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the front wheel bearing for excessive play, as this has been a persistent issue since at least 2023. The suspension arm pin or bush, particularly on the nearside, has shown wear in multiple tests and may require replacement to prevent further structural compromise. Tyre condition is critical, given the repeated failures related to tread depth and edge wear, which could compromise grip and safety. Additionally, the brake discs have a history of pitting and scoring, necessitating a thorough assessment of their thickness and surface integrity. While no structural rust or severe damage is documented, the cumulative effect of high mileage and recurring mechanical advisories warrants close scrutiny of these components during a physical inspection.
