2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AB15 MAT

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-28 showed front brake pads wearing thin, with no major failures. This aligns with a pattern of recurring brake-related issues, including worn discs and brake binding, observed in prior MOTs. The vehicle’s 101,891-mile reading, 11 years after manufacture, suggests average annual usage of ~9,263 miles, which is typical for its age. This mileage does not strongly indicate heavy wear or under-use, but it also does not rule out either scenario. Recurring mechanical issues include persistent problems with the front suspension arm bushes, which were noted in 2024 and 2023 MOTs, and repeated warnings about the nearside front constant velocity (CV) boot deteriorating, with a grease leak. Brake discs have shown progressive wear since 2023, with pitting and scoring reported in multiple inspections. While these issues were addressed in later MOTs, their recurrence suggests ongoing maintenance demands. The 2023 failures also included registration plate non-conformances and a broken brake wear sensor, indicating potential neglect or incomplete repairs. The trend shows some stability in critical systems, but the persistence of wear-related faults—particularly brakes and suspension—raises concerns. Brake pad wear in 2025 contrasts with earlier reports of disc wear, suggesting the braking system may require closer scrutiny.
