2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · EA65 TZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the Transit passed its most recent test in June 2025 at 93,775 miles, this followed a failure just one month prior. That failure highlighted multiple critical mechanical issues, including an inoperative engine management light, excessively worn suspension arm bushes, and a deteriorated drive shaft CV boot. The transition from a failure to a pass suggests the owner addressed these specific faults only when forced by the tester, rather than performing routine mechanical inspections. At 93,775 miles over 11 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,500 miles per year, which is consistent with a light to medium commercial use profile. There is a significant gap in the records between December 2021 and May 2023, during which the vehicle covered over 15,000 miles. Since then, the mileage has remained steady, with roughly 7,000 miles recorded annually. The relatively low mileage does not appear to have protected the vehicle components, as the record shows persistent failures in the chassis and braking components. A physical inspection must prioritize the front suspension and braking system. The tester flagged corroded front brake pipes in every single test since 2021, indicating a persistent issue with rust or material degradation. The 2025 test noted these pipes were covered in grease, which suggests an attempt to mask surface corrosion rather than replace the lines. Furthermore, the front lower suspension arm bushes have been noted as worn since 2021, escalating to an excessively worn state by 2025. A buyer should check for remaining play in the suspension geometry and verify that the recently replaced nearside CV boot is properly fitted to prevent premature damage to the drive shaft.
