2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AH04 TER

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding braking system integrity. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 131,149 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior due to a non-functional washer system and fog lamp. The recurring presence of corrosion on the front brake pipes, noted in both 2023 and 2025, indicates a failure to address preventative maintenance before the components reached failure status. The recorded mileage of 131,149 miles over 11 years represents an average usage of approximately 11,900 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical duty for a Ford Transit. The usage pattern appears steady, with roughly 7,600 miles covered between the September 2023 and 2024, and another 6,000 miles between September 2024 and 2025. This consistent operation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, though the high mileage accelerates the degradation of rubber and metal components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire braking system. The tester repeatedly flagged both front brake pipes for corrosion, which in 2023 were noted as covered in grease, a common tactic to hide surface rust or structural decay. The presence of corroded front discs in 2025 suggests the vehicle may have been stationary or used in a harsh environment. Beyond the flagged faults, the buyer should inspect the chassis for structural rust and check the condition of the suspension bushes to ensure that the corrosion seen in the pipes has not progressed into the structural mounting of the vehicle.
