Our Verdict
Exercise caution with this high-mileage
Prospective buyers should scrutinize the service history to see if the recurring suspension arm and bush issues identified in 2024 and 2026 were permanently resolved or merely patched. Specifically, ask for evidence of work carried out on the front lower suspension arms and ball joint dust covers.
Given the advisories from September 2025 regarding corroded brake pipes on both the nearside and offside front, check if these pipes have been replaced or treated. On a vehicle of this age and mileage, ensuring the braking system is structurally sound is a priority. Negotiate the price based on the likelihood of upcoming suspension or brake line maintenance.
As a 2.2L diesel, fuel economy will be typical for a Transit of this era, though costs will be influenced by the vehicle's high mileage. Insurance groups for the Transit are generally moderate, but premiums may vary based on the intended commercial use.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average. The MOT history indicates a trend of wear on consumables like tyres and suspension bushings, meaning annual upkeep will likely exceed that of a lower-mileage equivalent. Expect higher spending on wear-and-tear items to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension. The MOT history shows repeated failures and advisories for lower suspension arm pins, bushes, and ball joint dust covers; check for any current play or perished rubber. Inspect the CV boots, as these were flagged as split or deteriorated in 2024 and 2025.
Carefully examine the front brake pipes for signs of the corrosion noted in the 2025 MOT. Additionally, check the tyre tread and sidewalls, specifically on the offside rear, as tyre wear was a reason for failure as recently as September 2026. Finally, verify that the headlamp beam and colour issues identified in 2024 have been corrected.
This 2014 white Ford Transit has covered 164,129 miles, which is significantly above the average for this model. The MOT record shows a pattern of failures related to suspension components and tyres, alongside advisories for brake pipe corrosion. While it passed its most recent test in September 2026, the frequency of recurring issues is a point of concern.
The Ford Transit has an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with common failure points including headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
