2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AD15 AAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 with a clean result sheet and no recorded defects. However, the maintenance history reveals a trend of worsening mechanical condition starting around 2022. While the most recent test is positive, the preceding three years showed an increasing frequency of advisories related to the braking system, suspension, and bodywork, suggesting the vehicle is entering a phase of heavy component wear due to its high usage. The mileage profile reflects a high-intensity commercial cycle, averaging approximately 19,000 miles per year over its eleven-year life. There was a notable surge in usage between July 2021 and July 2022, where the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation places significant strain on the drivetrain and chassis components. The vehicle has covered roughly 2,500 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, indicating a consistent annual operational schedule consistent with a Ford Transit of this type. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and structural integrity. The record shows a persistent issue with corroded brake pipes noted in 2023 and 2024, specifically along the chassis rails and offside rear. Although the 2025 test showed no defects, corrosion on steel lines is a progressive condition that can lead to sudden failure. Furthermore, the front suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in both 2022 and 2023, requiring a check for play in the steering geometry to ensure these parts have since been replaced. The condition of the tyres and windscreen also warrants attention, with multiple entries for damage between 2023 and 2024. Given the high mileage and the previous reports of thin brake pads and pitted discs, the buyer should verify the remaining life of all current consumables and check for signs of fluid leaks. While the lack of defects in the 2025 test suggests immediate issues were addressed, the historical pattern of component wear means the vehicle remains at high risk for expensive mechanical repairs in the near future.
