2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FM15 EMJ

This Ford Transit has covered 156,304 miles in approximately 11 years, averaging over 14,000 miles annually. This is relatively high mileage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting heavy or consistent commercial use which typically accelerates wear on suspension, braking systems, and drivetrain components. The most recent MOT from February 2026 shows a pass, but the mechanical history reveals a persistent pattern of degradation. There is a recurring issue with oil leaks and suspension wear that has appeared in almost every inspection since 2024. While the vehicle is passing its tests, the faults are not being fully resolved; for example, track rod end play and suspension corrosion noted in 2025 reappeared in the 2026 test. The condition trend appears to be stable but leaning towards worsening. While the severity of some faults, such as the "excessively worn" suspension components seen in the 2024 failure, has been managed, the continuous presence of oil leaks, brake pipe corrosion, and suspension wear indicates a vehicle that is aging under heavy load. The repeated mentions of corrosion on brake pipes and suspension components suggest that while the van is roadworthy, it is entering a phase where structural and fluid-related repairs will become more frequent and costly. A buyer should prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the underside to assess the actual extent of the corrosion mentioned in the MOT history. You must specifically check the condition of the brake pipes, the source and volume of the ongoing oil leaks, and the integrity of all suspension bushes and joints to ensure they are not nearing a point of failure.
