2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BA15 FVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on July 23 2025 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a significant failure just five days prior to that test. While the 2024 and 2023 tests were clean, the mid-2025 failure indicates that the previous owner eventually addressed necessary mechanical repairs to bring the vehicle back to legal standard. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old Ford Transit, averaging approximately 5,066 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 48,770 miles and the July 2025 test at 55,731 miles, the vehicle covered only 6,961 miles. This low usage suggests infrequent operation which typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain but can also lead to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on braking surfaces due to lack of movement if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the July 2025 failure specifically identified excessively worn bushes on both the nearside and offside suspension arms. Although these were replaced to pass the test, the buyer should check for any remaining play in the steering geometry. The record also flagged pitted front brake discs and thin rear pads in mid-2025, so the current state of the entire braking system should be verified to ensure high-quality components were used rather than the cheapest available parts. The 2022 record noted deteriorated rear bump stops and a missing fuel cap door, which points to a history of neglecting minor peripheral items. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to inspect the external bodywork for structural corrosion in the wheel arches and underbody, as rust often affects Transits that are not used regularly. The mechanical history suggests a vehicle that has been maintained reactively when faults appeared rather than through a strict preventative schedule.
