2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BJ15 HZB

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of neglected corrosion and deferred repairs. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 132,608 miles resulted in a pass, it flagged recurring issues with front inner brake discs and tyres that appeared in previous years. The presence of corroded brake pipes and power steering leaks across multiple tests suggests that the previous owners performed only the minimum work required to pass the inspection rather than addressing the underlying degradation of components. At 132,608 miles over 11 years, this Transit has averaged approximately 12,000 miles per year, which is consistent with a heavy-duty commercial life. The record shows consistent usage, with a significant 7,800-mile interval recorded between December 2024 and January 2026. This high mileage indicates the vehicle has been used regularly, which naturally places significant stress on the suspension and braking systems, as evidenced by the repeated failures of arm bushes and bump stops noted in late 2022. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and steering assembly. The recurring mention of corroded brake pipes dating back to 2022 indicates a high risk of future pipe failure which could lead to a sudden loss of hydraulic pressure. The power steering seepage and corrosion noted in 2023 and 2024 should be checked for active leaks that could affect the pump or steering. Furthermore, given the history of worn suspension arm bushes and missing bump stops, the entire front end should be tested for play and uneven tyre wear to ensure the structural integrity of the suspension geometry has not been compromised by high-mileage fatigue.
