2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CU15 PFV

The 2015 Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded at 195,983 miles on 16 March 2026. No defects or advisories appear across the four most recent annual tests, and the vehicle carries a current valid certificate. The maintenance history shows no worsening mechanical faults and no recurring advisory items requiring ongoing attention. Annual mileage averages 17,817 against an eleven-year lifespan, placing this van firmly in high-use territory for its class. The records chart steady accumulation: 109,342 miles at the March 2023 test, 138,878 by March 2024, 163,907 by March 2025, and 195,983 by March 2026. The single failure on 22 March 2023 at 109,337 miles listed no defects, indicating a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with a clean pass issued the same day at 109,342 miles. Given the sparse and clean test data, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of high-stress components typical of a 196,000-mile Transit. Front suspension arms, track rod ends, and coil spring seats warrant close checks for fatigue, alongside brake discs and calipers for wear consistent with heavy load cycles. Structural underbody corrosion around chassis rails and sills should be assessed, as the MOT record offers no advisory trail to confirm prior rust treatment. The absence of recorded advisories across four years suggests either diligent pre-test preparation or light-touch testing, not proof of component condition. A pre-purchase examination by a Ford specialist remains prudent before committing to purchase at this mileage.
