FORD TRANSIT2015 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 December 2024 at 141,647 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates a positive trend in maintenance compared to previous years, as mechanical issues identified in earlier tests have clearly been addressed. The clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying advisories and faults before they result in failures. At 141,647 miles, this Ford Transit has covered significant distance over its eleven-year life, averaging approximately 12,877 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 12,832 miles covered specifically between the September 2023 and December 2024 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used for regular commercial work rather than sitting for long periods. While consistent mileage often prevents seal-related issues, the high annual mileage places heavy-duty stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus specifically on the front end assembly during a physical inspection. The September 2023 test at 128,815 miles flagged a noisy offside front wheel bearing with slight play, and while the vehicle passed since, this component should be checked for any residual vibration or noise to ensure the replacement was executed correctly. Additionally, the 2020 record of thin rear brake pads and pitted front discs highlights that the braking system undergoes heavy use. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the current brake rotors and the condition of the suspension bushes is essential to ensure no structural wear is nearing the end of its service life.
