2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · DX15 RZD

The 2025‑10‑01 MOT passed with zero defects, confirming that the Transit was roadworthy at that point. The preceding 2025‑09‑30 test recorded the same mileage and listed an ABS warning lamp, split CV joint boots on both drive shafts and tyre tread deficiencies, indicating that the vehicle required remedial work before the later pass. Mileage accumulation shows a steep upward trend for a 2015 model. From the 2018 test at 64,225 miles the odometer rose to 119,569 miles by September 2021, then to 140,748 miles in 2022, 162,775 miles in 2023, and reached 179,010 miles by the 2024 failures. The jump from 162,775 miles in September 2023 to 179,010 miles in September 2024 represents an average increase of roughly 5,200 miles per year, well above the 17,669 miles per year calculated from the current 194,358 miles. The lack of intermediate records between 2023 and 2025 suggests periods of low usage, but the overall mileage indicates heavy use and accelerated component wear. A buyer should therefore inspect the ABS system for fault codes, examine the constant‑velocity joint boots for splits or insecure fittings, and verify tyre tread depth on all wheels. The repeated wear on suspension arm pins and bushes, noted since the 2021 test, points to possible neglect of steering and suspension maintenance; close examination of the front and rear suspension components, bush condition, and any signs of structural rust around the wheel arches is essential. Further inspection of the brake discs, pads and calipers, as well as the integrity of the exhaust system and structural chassis, should be undertaken to confirm that the recent pass reflects genuine repair rather than temporary masking of underlying defects.
