2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · HN65 UAB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 May 2026 at 94,362 miles. The maintenance trend has shifted from a clean record to a worsening pattern of neglect over the last two years. The most recent test followed a failure on 5 May 2026, where the tester flagged an empty coolant bottle and split constant velocity boots on both front outer drive shafts. These failures, alongside a damaged windscreen and a cut tyre, suggest a lack of routine pre-test inspections and a reactive approach to maintenance. The mileage is typical for an eleven year old Transit, averaging roughly 8,578 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady, increasing from 25,125 miles in December 2018 to 94,362 miles by May 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, though the vehicle has transitioned from a period of flawless passes between 2018 and 2023 to more frequent failures and advisories in the latter stages of its life. A buyer should closely inspect the front drivetrain and suspension. The split CV boots identified in May 2026 require verification to ensure they were replaced rather than patched, as worn joints lead to premature axle failure. The January 2024 test at 84,487 miles highlighted a fluctuating offside front service brake and a worn inner rear suspension bush on the offside front lower arm. These issues, combined with the 2021 advisories for pitted brake discs and thin pads, indicate a trend of wear in the front-end braking and suspension systems. Particular attention must be paid to the tyres and cooling system. The record shows a recurring issue with cuts in the rear tyre treads, appearing in both the January 2024 and May 2026 tests. This suggests either poor road choice or a failure to replace damaged consumables. The empty coolant bottle flagged in May 2026 is a red flag for potential leaks or general neglect of the engine cooling system, which warrants a thorough pressure test and fluid level check.
