2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BJ15 HZP

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a major MOT failure on June 15, 2026, at 150,275 miles. The maintenance trend is significantly worsening, transitioning from minor advisories to multiple critical mechanical failures. While the vehicle passed in 2025, the most recent inspection reveals a cascade of neglected components including a failing offside front wheel bearing, split CV boots, and worn suspension arm bushes. This shift suggests a breakdown in preventative maintenance, as faults are only addressed once they reach failure threshold. At 150,275 miles over 11 years, this Transit has averaged approximately 13,600 miles per year, which is consistent with heavy commercial use. The data shows a rapid mileage accumulation, with over 10,000 miles covered between July 2023 and March 2025, and another 10,000 miles in the year leading up to the latest failure. This high usage rate places immense strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is evidenced by the recurring issues with drive shafts and ball joints identified across the last three test periods. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front-end suspension and braking system. The record shows a persistent pattern of deteriorating ball joint dust covers and CV boots dating back to 2023, requiring immediate replacement. The offside rear brake pipe corrosion is a serious safety risk, especially given the presence of grease or other material which likely hides the extent of the structural decay. Additionally, the recurring oil leak noted in 2023 and 2025 requires a professional assessment to determine if the source is a simple seal or a failing engine component.
