2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BT65 AEB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 63,964 miles. The maintenance trend shows a minor decline in electrical attention, specifically regarding the registration plate lamp which flagged as inoperative in both the 2025 and 2026 tests. Despite this recurring minor fault, the vehicle maintained clean records between 2022 and 2024, suggesting that core mechanical and structural components remained sound during those periods. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eleven-year-old Transit, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between November 2018 and October 2019, where the vehicle covered only 11,146 miles in eleven months. Since 2022, the mileage has increased more consistently, adding roughly 6,800 miles in the last two years. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though it increases the risk of component degradation such as perished seals or brake corrosion due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the rubber components and seals, as low-mileage vans often suffer from drying out bushings and hoses. The 2018 failure for uneven tyre wear suggests potential previous issues with alignment or suspension geometry, which should be re-checked against the current tyre condition. Given the recurring failure with the registration plate lamp, a thorough check of the wiring loom and socket at the rear is advised to ensure there is no persistent corrosion or ingress. No structural rust or brake failures were noted in the history, but a physical inspection of the chassis and wheel arches remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
