2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · DX15 XKG

The 2015 Ford Transit presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 5 December 2025 at 106,467 miles with zero defects recorded. That is a marked contrast to the preceding years, where the tester flagged brake wear, a fuel leak, and tyre deterioration. The most recent result suggests the previous owner addressed those issues promptly, though a clean MOT alone does not guarantee underlying mechanical longevity on a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for an 11-year-old Transit, averaging roughly 9,679 miles per year. The record shows a notable jump of 11,984 miles between the October 2022 test at 72,933 miles and the November 2023 test at 90,534 miles, indicating heavier use during that period. The subsequent interval from November 2023 to December 2025 added just 15,933 miles over more than two years, pointing to a significant drop in annual mileage or a period of lighter duty. No glaring gaps appear in the test history, with annual tests recorded consistently from 2022 onward. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the braking system and fuel delivery components. The tester flagged offside rear brake pads wearing thin in November 2024 and front brake pads wearing thin in October 2022, so the calipers, discs, and handbrake mechanism deserve close scrutiny for uneven wear or binding. The slight fuel leak noted at the injector in November 2023 raises a specific concern; the injector area, fuel lines, and connections should be examined for residual dampness, diesel odour, or crystallised deposits that could indicate a recurring weep rather than a one-off fix. The October 2022 advisory on a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit and on the edge points to possible wheel alignment or suspension geometry issues. A buyer should check the inner and outer tyre shoulders for feathering and inspect the front suspension bushes, track rod ends, and coil springs for play. The March 2022 note of a slightly distorted nearside front wheel warrants a spin-check for lateral run-out and a look at the inner rim for kerbing or impact damage. Given the vehicle's commercial purpose, the load floor, outriggers, and rear chassis rails should be probed for corrosion or cracking, as structural integrity on a working Transit is critical.
