2015 FORD TRANSIT2.2L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 12 March 2026 at 118,712 miles. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than preventative, with the most recent test following a failure just six days earlier due to a split nearside front outer drive shaft CV boot. While the most recent result shows no defects, the history reveals a pattern of recurring mechanical issues that suggest components are often replaced only when they reach a point of failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. The records show steady usage, moving from 62,052 miles in February 2021 to the current 118,712 miles in March 2026. This steady progression indicates regular operational use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate certain types of age-related deterioration like seized calipers or perished seals, though it does mean components are subject to standard wear and tear. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The record shows a persistent issue with the offside front suspension arm wishbone rear bush, which was flagged as worn in 2022 and again in March 2025. Furthermore, the offside rear brake pipe has shown signs of corrosion and grease coverage in both the March 2025 test and the subsequent pass, suggesting a recurring concern with brake line integrity. The drive shaft CV boots also present a recurring fault, having been flagged as severely deteriorated in 2021 and 2024, and failing again in March 2026. Given the history of worn tyres and pitted brake discs, a thorough check of the front axle assembly, tyre tread depth, and brake pad thickness is necessary. The presence of grease on brake pipes suggests a need to verify that any corrosion has been properly addressed rather than merely masked.
