2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FV15 ADU

The most recent DVSA test on 6 February 2023 at 130,922 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle's documented roadworthiness status as clean at that point. Against the full history, the maintenance trend is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across five examinations. The single failure on 4 May 2020 at 117,556 miles carried no listed defects and was followed three days later by a pass at 117,558 miles, indicating a transient or administrative anomaly rather than an ongoing defect pattern. Mileage progression aligns broadly with typical yearly use for an eleven-year-old van, averaging roughly 11,900 miles annually. The record shows 92,872 miles at the May 2019 test, rising to 117,558 miles by May 2020, a 24,686-mile span of heavier use. Thereafter usage dropped sharply: only 10,549 miles accumulated to the January 2022 test at 128,107 miles, then a mere 2,815 miles to the February 2023 examination. Such low recent accumulation implies extended periods of standing, though the sparse gap between January 2022 and February 2023 reflects a delayed renewal rather than a missing interval. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean paper trail. The absence of recorded advisories does not preclude age-related wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs now approaching eleven years old. Prolonged inactivity suggested by the mileage drop raises risk of binding calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and degraded rubber components. Examine structural integrity for corrosion, particularly on chassis rails and sills, and verify exhaust emissions during a cold start. Given the last test expired in February 2024, the van has since run without a valid MOT for over two years relative to today's date. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance, but the stagnant odometer after 2022 signals likely storage. Confirm in person that drivetrain seals and coolant remain sound before road use.
