2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · GE60 ERS

The 2015 Ford Transit has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over the past five MOT cycles, with no defects recorded in any of the tests conducted between January 2023 and January 2026. The most recent test on 2026-01-29—just six months ago—confirmed the vehicle passed without fail, despite an unusual dual entry (one pass, one fail) at identical mileage. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a level sufficient to avoid MOT failures, though the anomaly on 2026-01-29 warrants scrutiny, as it may indicate a temporary administrative error or a brief period of undocumented work. There is no evidence of recurring faults or worsening conditions in the official record, though the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude underlying issues. The mileage progression of 6,057 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The recorded mileage increased steadily from 46,641 miles in January 2023 to 66,624 miles in January 2026, averaging around 6,000 miles annually—a rate that suggests regular but not excessive use. The absence of gaps between tests implies the vehicle was likely in continuous service, though the 2026-01-29 duplication hints at either a clerical oversight or a brief period where the vehicle was temporarily off the road. No red flags emerge from this pattern, but buyers should verify whether the mileage has been accurately logged, particularly around the 2026 test date. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that are not directly tested by the MOT but critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are prone to fatigue over 11 years and 66,000 miles. The brakes, while not flagged in the MOT, should be examined for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been used for heavy or mixed loads. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is another concern, particularly given the Transit’s exposure to road salt and moisture. Finally, the exhaust system—though passed—should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as catalytic converter failures are not always detected until they become severe. The lack of advisories in the MOT record does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so visual and functional checks are essential.
