2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LF15 TSV

The vehicle recently passed its MOT on 29 July 2026, at 129,041 miles, immediately following a failure just one day prior. That failure was caused by both nearside and offside front outer drive shaft constant velocity boots being split. While the vehicle is currently deemed roadworthy, the recurrence of drive shaft issues suggests a pattern of deferred maintenance until a test is imminent. The rapid transition from a failure to a pass indicates the owner addressed the critical faults to meet legal requirements, but the underlying history reflects a reactive approach rather than a proactive maintenance schedule. At 129,041 miles over 11 years, the Transit averages approximately 11,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical commercial usage. The history shows a steady trend of wear on suspension and braking components. In May 2024 at 103,962 miles, the vehicle failed with multiple defects including an inoperative engine management light, headlamp misalignment, and leaking offside rear shock absorbers. The presence of worn offside front lower suspension arm bushes appearing in both 2023 and 2024 tests indicates that the front suspension geometry is reaching the end of its service life and requires ongoing monitoring. Consumable items have shown inconsistent care throughout the years. Multiple tests flagged tyres being worn to legal limits or sustaining structural cuts, specifically in 2021, 2022, and 2024. The exhaust system has also shown issues with a leak in 2020 and an emissions failure in 2022, suggesting the engine health or exhaust manifold may be degrading. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension bushes for further play and verify the condition of the new CV boots, as the record indicates these areas are prone to failure on this specific vehicle.
