2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FJ65 PVT

The 2015 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following a pass on 14 October 2025 at 173,166 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The most recent test came one day after a failure on 13 October 2025 at identical mileage, yet the DVSA entry logs no defects for either event. A prior failure on 15 September 2023 at 159,761 miles also recorded no defects, with a pass six days later at 160,073 miles. These anomaly entries suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than progressive mechanical decline. The van has covered 173,166 miles over roughly eleven years, averaging about 15,742 miles annually, which is high for a 2015 light commercial. Mileage moved from 160,073 in September 2023 to 170,008 by October 2024, then only 3,158 miles to October 2025. That taper implies lighter recent use. The record is sparse on faults: every pass and failure line shows no defects recorded, so we have no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or emissions to weigh. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion, as the MOT data gives no visibility of such conditions. The repeated no-defect failures without listed reasons warrant confirmation that the VIN, lighting, and brake function were properly assessed on 13 October 2025 and 15 September 2023. Check the front coil springs, steering joints, and exhaust for age-related fatigue not captured by the clean entries. Given the high lifetime mileage and unexplained failure lines, verify service history and confirm the 2025 pass reflects genuine roadworthiness rather than a clerical retry. The van shows no recorded worsening trend, but the absence of advisories on a 173k-mile Transit should not be read as proof of component health.
