2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · TW11 ANT

The latest MOT test conducted on 18 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Looking back through the history since 2021, the vehicle has maintained an exceptionally stable maintenance trend, passing five consecutive annual inspections without a single failure or advisory. This is an uncommon record for a commercial vehicle of this age and strongly indicates a consistent regime of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. With a recorded mileage of 75,863 miles over approximately eleven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,897 miles per year. This usage rate is considered typical for its age and suggests a balanced operational history. It has avoided the excessive wear associated with high-mileage commercial use, such as premature drivetrain fatigue or heavy suspension degradation, while remaining in active enough service to prevent the mechanical seizures often found in vehicles that have stood idle for extended periods. Given the absence of recorded defects, the physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than specific failure points. You must examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, as rubber compounds degrade over time regardless of tread depth. Pay close attention to the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure there are no binding calipers that could lead to uneven wear or overheating during a test drive. The 12V battery health should be verified, as older batteries can show intermittent voltage drops that affect electronic modules. Further attention should be directed toward calendar-based maintenance. Verify the service history stamps to ensure that engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid have been replaced according to the manufacturer's time intervals rather than just mileage. During the test drive, listen for any subtle knocks or squeaks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can harden and crack with age. Finally, inspect the chassis and underbody for any signs of surface corrosion that may not have reached the threshold of an MOT failure but could indicate a need for future preventative treatment.
