Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution. The MOT hi
Prioritise verifying the quality of the repairs conducted in November 2025. Given the severity of the failures—specifically the missing wheel fixings and corroded brake pipes—you should seek professional confirmation that these were replaced rather than patched. Ensure that the leaf spring bolts, which failed in both 2022 and 2025, have been properly secured.
Request full documentation for the 2.2L engine's service intervals. Because this vehicle has shown a pattern of failing on basic safety items, a detailed service history is essential to determine if mechanical maintenance has been as overlooked as the MOT-related items.
As a 2.2L diesel, this Transit will have moderate fuel costs but may fall into a higher road tax bracket compared to newer Euro 6 models. Insurance for this model varies by usage but generally sits in a mid-range group for commercial vehicles.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the documented corrosion issues. Expect to budget for ongoing chassis protection and potential suspension work, as leaf spring issues have appeared twice in the recorded history.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history explicitly lists 'excessively corroded' brake pipes and 'insecure' leaf spring to axle fixing bolts in both 2022 and 2025; check these areas for signs of professional repair or remaining rust.
Inspect all wheel fixings to ensure they are present and correctly torqued, following the 2025 failure for missing road wheel fixings. Additionally, check the operation of the side repeaters and marker lamps, which were noted as defective in the most recent failure record.
This 2015 white Ford Transit with a 2.2L diesel engine has recorded 118,490 miles. While it passed its most recent MOT in November 2025, the preceding test on November 3rd showed an extensive list of failures involving braking, suspension, and wheel security. The vehicle's history shows recurring issues with corrosion and chassis fixings over several years.
With an average MOT pass rate of 74.4% across over 735,000 vehicles, this model is moderately reliable, though corrosion is one of its top three failure reasons.
