Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. This Ford
If you are considering this vehicle, your primary focus must be on the structural integrity of the chassis. The recent advisory regarding front subframe corrosion is a serious matter for a commercial vehicle. You should request evidence of any recent welding or structural repairs, as subframe issues can be expensive to rectify and may lead to future MOT failures.
Secondly, look closely at the maintenance of the drivetrain and braking components. The vehicle has a history of failing on CV boots and worn brake discs/pads. Ensure that the repairs made following the October 2025 failure (specifically the drive shaft boots and brake discs) have been completed to a high standard and ask for receipts. Given the high mileage, check if the timing belt/water pump has been replaced recently, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 2.2L diesel engine.
As a 2.2L diesel commercial vehicle, running costs will be higher than a standard passenger car. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but expect typical van consumption figures. Tax and insurance will be influenced by its commercial classification and engine size.
Maintenance costs are likely to be frequent. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of needing new suspension bushes, brake components, and CV boots. You should budget for regular wear-and-tear repairs, particularly regarding the front end of the vehicle.
A physical inspection of the underside is essential. Specifically, check the area mentioned in the 2025 MOT advisory: the front subframe. Look for heavy scaling or deep pitting that suggests the corrosion is progressing. You should also inspect the front suspension arms and bushes, as these have been flagged as worn or excessively worn in multiple MOT tests (2023, 2024, and 2025).
Additionally, examine the drive shafts and CV boots. The vehicle failed in 2025 due to both nearside and offside CV boots being split. Ensure there is no grease leakage around the joints. Finally, check the front brake discs and pads; while these were addressed after the 2025 failure, the history of 'significantly worn' discs suggests a need for regular monitoring.
This 2014 black Ford Transit 2.2L diesel has covered 121,282 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 8,947 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a frequent need for repairs to brakes, CV boots, and suspension bushes. Most concerning is the most recent MOT advisory from October 2025, which notes the front subframe is becoming corroded.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 74.4% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
