2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CU15 PTO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 21 May 2024 at 138,390 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both 2023 and 2024, the vehicle failed the initial test on the same day but passed upon retest, suggesting that minor bulb-related issues or minor adjustments are being addressed promptly rather than left unmanaged. The mileage pattern indicates consistent and heavy usage typical of a commercial vehicle of this age. The Transit has averaged approximately 12,500 miles per year over its eleven-year life. Between the 2022 test at 90,079 miles and the 2023 test at 112,544 miles, the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles, followed by another 25,846 miles in the subsequent year. This high rate of mileage accumulation places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower mileage counterparts. While the record shows no active mechanical failures, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the high-wear areas associated with high mileage. Focus should be placed on the condition of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs, which frequently degrade under heavy loads. Given the age and distance travelled, checking for structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis members and floor pans is essential. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for excessive wear and check for caliper binding to ensure the high mileage has not led to premature component failure in the braking system.
