2015 Ford Transit Courier 1.6L Diesel · GD15 XFT

The 2015 Ford Transit Courier shows a history of consistent testing but reveals signs of deferred maintenance regarding wear-related components. The most recent test on June 11 2025 at 129,319 miles passed with only an advisory for a non-excessive oil leak. This represents an improvement over the May 2024 period where the vehicle failed a re-test due to a serious fluid leak from the offside front shock absorber. While the immediate mechanical failures from that year appear to have been addressed, the record suggests a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. At 129,319 miles over 11 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 11,756 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage records show steady annual progression, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. The 2024 advisory noting front tyres worn close to the legal limit with 3mm of tread remaining and a deflated spare tyre indicates that basic consumable item upkeep was occasionally overlooked until they triggered an inspection failure. The mechanical history highlights several areas of concern that require close monitoring. In June 2024, both front constant velocity (CV) boots were found to be perished and cracked, which often leads to premature joint failure if ignored. The central front lower engine mounting was also flagged for rubber splitting, and the 2022 test noted play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint and a noisy offside wheel bearing. A buyer should verify the current state of the CV boots and the integrity of the engine mounts, as these components are prone to significant stress on high-mileage Transit vans.
