2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BD15 MHV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in December 2025 at 82,258 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior. The December 2025 failure highlighted multiple mechanical issues including a rough front wheel bearing, worn suspension arm bushes, and significant pipe corrosion. The persistence of these faults suggests the owner only addresses defects when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 11 years old, the recorded 82,258 miles represent an average of roughly 7,500 miles per year, which is consistent with light-duty commercial use. The mileage accumulation shows steady growth, with approximately 5,200 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 2,400 miles in the year that followed. This consistent usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not sat idle for long periods, though the low mileage explains the degradation of rubber components and metalwork corrosion seen in the test results. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as corrosion on brake pipes is a recurring defect dating back to 2023. The December 2025 report noted grease covering these corroded sections, which often indicates an attempt to hide surface decay from the tester. The offside front wheel bearing and nearside front suspension bushes require close checking for noise and play, as these were recent points of failure. Additionally, the recurring advisory regarding the damaged offside mirror across multiple years indicates a lack of attention to minor body and functional defects.
