2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LG65 ACX

The Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent test on 23 August 2025 at 134,770 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, showing no advisories or recurring mechanical faults. The single anomaly occurred on 20 August 2024 when the tester logged a fail at 130,934 miles with no defects listed, yet the vehicle passed two days later at 130,936 miles, indicating either an administrative reversal or an unrecorded rectification. Mileage stands at 134,770 against an 11-year lifespan, averaging 12,252 miles per year, which is elevated for a light commercial of this cohort. However, the MOT entries reveal a pronounced slowdown in use. From the August 2022 test at 123,187 miles to the August 2023 examination at 128,827 miles the van covered just 5,640 miles. By August 2024 it recorded 130,936 miles, adding only 2,109 miles. The final year to August 2025 saw 3,834 miles accrued. Such low recent accumulation suggests the vehicle spent periods idle or on light duties despite earlier higher-rate service. The absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion or exhaust emissions issues implies previous owners kept the van to test standard, though the clean sheet provides no insight into consumable condition. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity around the subframe and sills, given the 2015 build and six-figure mileage. The August 2024 fail with no defects recorded demands scrutiny of the DVSA failure reason, as it may signal a latent fault omitted from the advisory field. Prior to purchase, physically check coil springs for fracture, binding calipers on the rear axle, and tyre tread depth despite no test warnings. The high early mileage likely stressed drivetrain components; a fluid sample and gearbox noise test would be prudent. Overall, the record supports a stable mechanical profile, but age-related wear unseen by MOT testers remains a risk for an unaccompanied buyer.
