2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CM54 MAP

Based on the DVSA MOT record, this 2015 Ford Transit presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 3 October 2025 at 173,197 miles passed with no defects recorded, and this clean outcome is consistent across the entire five-year history. Every annual test from June 2021 through October 2025 has returned a pass with zero advisories, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural faults have been identified by testers over that period. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, with no evidence of worsening or emerging issues. The vehicle has covered approximately 15,745 miles per year on average, which is high for an eleven-year-old van and points to sustained commercial or long-distance use. However, the annual mileage increments tell a more nuanced story. Between the June 2021 test at 148,259 miles and the August 2022 test at 164,697 miles, the van accumulated roughly 16,438 miles in just over a year, a notably high rate. After that point, mileage accumulation slowed significantly, with only around 3,086 miles added between August 2022 and September 2023, followed by similarly modest annual increases through to the October 2025 test. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have been used intensively through mid-2022 and subsequently saw lighter use or longer periods of standing. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection focused on components that wear independently of defect flags. At 173,197 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers are well within the zone where deterioration can occur without triggering an MOT failure until quite advanced. Brake discs, pads, and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, particularly if the van has spent time stationary. Tyre condition, sidewall age, and tread depth across all four corners, including the inner edges, warrant close attention. The exhaust system, fuel lines, and underbody should be checked for corrosion, with particular focus on load-bearing structural points such as crossmembers, outriggers, and cab mounting areas. A clean MOT history is a strong positive indicator, but it does not replace a hands-on assessment of a high-mileage working vehicle.
