2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · ET15 GRX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 September 2025 at 158,921 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failure just one day prior to successful tests. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the test with no recorded defects, only to pass the following day. This suggests the previous owner practised reactive maintenance, addressing faults only when necessary to meet legal requirements rather than following a preventative schedule. At 11 years old with 158,921 miles recorded, this Ford Transit reflects a high-usage profile, averaging approximately 14,447 miles per year. Between January 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 1,892 miles in 20 months, but the usage accelerated significantly between September 2024 and September 2025, with 7,625 miles covered in that single year. This consistent high mileage puts considerable strain on heavy-duty components like the drivetrain and suspension assembly, which typically accelerate wear on vans of this age. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the structural integrity and underbody components. Given the high mileage and the reactive repair history, check for significant corrosion on the chassis rails and mounting points, which are common failure points on this model. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing or sagging, as high mileage often exhausts these rubber components. Additionally, verify the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear to ensure that the repairs addressed during the recent MOT failures were executed effectively.
