Our Verdict
Recommended with caution due to a significant MOT failure in 2022 and high mileage, but recent MOTs show improvement.
Prioritise inspecting the nearside rear suspension components, as a fractured coil spring was recorded in 2022. Check for rust or corrosion, common in older commercial vehicles. Review service records for consistent maintenance, and negotiate price based on the high mileage. Be wary of potential hidden costs from the 2022 failure, even though the vehicle has since passed MOTs without defects.
Diesel fuel economy for the 1.56L engine is moderate, with typical urban mileage around 35-40 mpg. Road tax is £140 annually (2023/24 rate for diesel vehicles over 15 years old). Insurance groups for commercial vans vary, but expect premiums above average for a 2015 model. Maintenance costs may rise due to high mileage, with suspension repairs and tyre replacements likely. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the nearside rear suspension system, as a fractured coil spring was recorded in 2022. Inspect tyres for uneven wear, particularly the offside front tyre mentioned in 2023. Check the windscreen wiper mechanism for proper function. Examine the chassis and body for rust, common in older vans. Verify that service history matches the recorded mileage and MOT passes.
This 2015 Ford Transit Courier has a mixed MOT history, with a notable suspension failure in 2022 and recent passes. The high mileage of 128,326 miles (33% above average for its age) raises concerns, though no major defects have been recorded in the last three years. The vehicle’s white colour and 1.56L diesel engine are standard for its era.
No aggregate reliability data available for the Ford Transit Courier, but commercial vans of this era generally require regular maintenance due to heavy usage patterns.
