2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BC02 CAF

The 2015 Ford Transit shows a history of recurring brake system issues, specifically regarding corrosion on brake pipes. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 88,456 miles, the vehicle failed just one day prior due to excessive corrosion on all four brake pipes and an inability to test brake performance. While it passed the following day, the tester still flagged the front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored, along with the nearside and offside rear brake pipes which remain corroded and covered in grease. This suggests that while the immediate failures were addressed, the underlying corrosion has not been fully rectified. With 88,456 miles over 11 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. The record indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance regarding minor components. Between December 2021 and December 2022, the vehicle failed tests for various issues including worn windscreen wipers, a failed fog lamp, and a malfunctioning engine management indicator light. The 2022 test at 70,920 miles also noted worn nearside front suspension arm bushes, which were not mentioned in later inspections, suggesting they were either replaced or the wear has stabilized. The mechanical history reveals a persistent issue with the rear wheel hub seals, as a nearside rear hub seal leak was noted in both 2022 and 2023. Additionally, an engine oil leak was recorded in late 2021, though it has not been flagged as an excessive defect in the more recent tests. A potential buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the brake lines throughout and ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond surface level, as the recurring failures in this area indicate a vulnerability to future failure.
