Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution due to high
Given the high mileage of over 216,000 miles, you should prioritise checking the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and component replacements. Negotiate the price downwards to account for the immediate need for replacement brake pads and tyres indicated in the 2025 MOT record.
Ask the seller for specific details regarding the recent repairs made following the November 2025 failure. You should also verify if the brake pipe corrosion noted in 2024 was fully rectified or merely inspected, as brake system integrity is critical on a heavy commercial vehicle like this Transit.
As a 2.2L diesel commercial vehicle, running costs will be higher than a standard passenger car. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but expect typical van consumption figures.
Insurance groups for Ford Transits vary widely based on driver profile, but the 2198cc engine may place it in a mid-to-high bracket. Maintenance costs are likely to be frequent due to the high mileage, with regular requirements for tyres, brakes, and suspension components as evidenced by the MOT history.
Focus heavily on the braking system; the most recent MOT recorded thin pads on both front and rear, and previous records show pitted discs and corroded brake pipes. Check the CV boots and ball joint dust covers, as the 2024 MOT highlighted split boots and failing covers.
Inspect the lighting system thoroughly, specifically the headlamp aim and registration plate lamps, which have been recurring failure points. Finally, check the underside for signs of corrosion, particularly around the brake lines, following the failure recorded in March 2024.
This 2015 Ford Transit (DL14DAL) has covered 216,496 miles as of its last MOT, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history shows recurring issues with braking components, lighting, and suspension elements. While it has passed its most recent test, the frequency of failures and advisories suggests a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 74.3% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
