2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AD15 ABO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening trajectory regarding suspension and braking components. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 127,751 miles passed, it flagged a worn front suspension arm pin or bush. This follows a pattern of deteriorating suspension health seen in March 2025, where both nearside and offside front inner bushes showed wear. Although the vehicle is currently passing, the recurring nature of these rubber components suggests the front assembly is reaching the end of its service life. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles annually. There is a notable jump in usage between August 2021 and April 2023, where the vehicle covered over 23,000 miles in under twenty months. Since then, the accumulation has remained steady at roughly 12,000 to 14,000 miles per year. This consistent use explains the increased wear on the drivetrain and braking systems, evidenced by the failures related to leaks and steering leaks in the later years. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the bushes and arm pins have appeared in multiple consecutive tests. The braking system also requires attention; the record shows pitted and scored rear discs in early 2025 and a history of thin pads in 2020 and 2023. The nearside front constant velocity boot, which previously caused a failure in 2023, should be checked for new signs of grease leakage or tearing ingress. Given the power steering pipe leak from 2024, all hydraulic lines should be inspected for perished rubber or impact damage to ensure no secondary failure remains imminent.
