2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AX15 UNY

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of corrosion across the hydraulic fluid systems. The most recent test in November 2025 at 117,795 miles passed with new advisories for a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush and a corroded offside front inner power steering hose. While these did not result in a failure, the recurring nature of corrosion issues suggests the metal components are beginning to show signs of age-related degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with a jump of 22,255 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 15,477 miles recorded before the 2025 test. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has been operated actively rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent internal engine seal failure despite the external surface corrosion noted on the brake lines. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking and steering lines. The MOT history flagged multiple corroded brake pipes in 2022 and 2023, followed by a power steering hose advisory in 2025. These indicate a vulnerability to rust, and a technician should check for deep pitting or thinning of the metal tubing that could lead to sudden fluid loss. Additionally, the worn nearside front suspension arm bush identified in late 2025 should be monitored for play, as continued wear will lead to uneven tyre wear and unpredictable handling.
