2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MK15 ABU

The vehicle shows a worsening maintenance trend regarding its braking system and lighting components. While the most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 73,589 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle initially failed due to corroded brake pipes on both the nearside and offside front, alongside an incorrect headlamp aim. This follows a pattern of recurring brake pipe corrosion noted as far back as the 23 October 2023 test at 58,703 miles. The presence of grease or other material on these pipes suggests an attempt to mask or protect corrosion, which is a concern for long-term structural integrity of the braking lines. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a light-to-moderate commercial use profile. The vehicle has covered 73,589 miles over approximately eleven years, averaging roughly 6,690 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 19,229 miles in April 2018 to 73,589 miles in October 2025. There are no significant gaps in the annual testing history, which indicates the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically looking for signs of further degradation or makeshift repairs to the brake pipes. The recurring issues with corrosion suggest that the chassis or pipework may be prone to environmental damage. You should also inspect the suspension components, as the 14 October 2024 test at 66,710 miles flagged a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush. Lighting and peripheral maintenance also require attention. The history shows frequent failures related to headlamp aim, registration plate lamps, and stop lamps. While these are often easily rectified, the frequency of these defects suggests a lack of preventative upkeep. Finally, check the condition of the tyres and windscreen, as the record shows multiple instances of worn tyres and damaged glass across various years.
