2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LD65 VPF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2023 at 101,986 miles resulted in a clean pass with no advisories recorded, indicating that the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a standard that met all minimum safety and environmental requirements set by the DVSA. Since the single failure in late 2021, the vehicle has operated without recorded defects, suggesting a period of mechanical stability and diligent upkeep. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old van, averaging approximately 9,271 miles per year. Between December 2020 and December 2023, the vehicle covered 51,342 miles, showing a steady usage rate that avoids the extreme wear associated with high-intensity commercial work or the neglect caused by long periods of standing. The jump of 20,174 miles between the December 2022 and 2023 tests shows the vehicle was being used regularly for its intended purpose, which often helps prevent premature degradation of rubber components and brake fluid seals. Despite the clean recent records, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components common to this age and model. Given the vehicle has surpassed 100,000 miles, focus on checking for structural corrosion around the side members and rear spring mounts, as Ford Transits are prone to rust over time. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these parts often show significant wear at this mileage bracket. Since the last MOT was performed over eighteen months ago, a fresh inspection is essential to ensure that no new mechanical leaks or tyre issues have developed since the December 2023 test.
