2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BF65 RWN

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a worsening trend of mechanical neglect rather than preventative maintenance. The most recent test in September 2025 at 113,732 miles revealed a significant list of advisories including corroded brake pipes, worn suspension bushes, and leaking steering. While the vehicle passed, the frequency of new faults appearing in consecutive tests suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than being serviced during scheduled intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle averaging approximately 10,300 miles per year. There is a notable discrepancy in the records between September 2018 and October 2019, where the mileage drops from 205,882 down to 75,880, likely indicating a clerical entry error by the tester. Since that correction, the vehicle has progressed steadily toward its current six-figure mileage mark. Given the current date of July 2026, the MOT is now nearly ten months out of date, which increases the risk of unmonseen mechanical degradation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The history shows a recurring failure of drive shaft CV boots and suspension arm bushes, which were flagged repeatedly between 2022 and 2025. The presence of corroded inner brake pipes in the latest report is a high-priority safety concern as corrosion can lead to sudden hydraulic failure. Additionally, the steering rack must be checked for signs of fluid loss following the seepage noted in 2025, and the engine oil leak mentioned in 2023 should be verified to ensure they have not worsened.
