2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LG65 AEE

The 2015 Ford Transit demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-03 at 109,466 miles recording a pass. However, a failure on 2025-05-23 at 109,014 miles—just 450 miles prior—raises questions about the consistency of maintenance. No defects were logged in either test, suggesting potential administrative errors or minor issues resolved before the retest. Previous MOTs from 2022 to 2024 showed no defects, indicating a history of compliance. The vehicle’s mileage of 109,466 miles aligns with its 11-year age, averaging 9,951 miles annually, which is typical for its class. The MOT record lacks detailed defect reports, but the absence of recurring issues over four years implies routine upkeep. A gap between the 2022-04-25 test (87,032 miles) and 2023-03-31 test (90,068 miles) suggests a 3,036-mile accumulation over 11 months, which is moderate. The rapid increase to 96,905 miles by 2024-04-30—adding 6,837 miles in 13 months—may indicate heavier usage, potentially affecting wear on brakes, suspension, and tyres. No structural corrosion or emission issues were flagged, but the sparse data limits insight into long-term mechanical degradation. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as gradual wear could manifest after high-mileage periods. The rear brakes, which require frequent attention in commercial vehicles, should be checked for uneven pad wear or warped discs. Despite the recent pass, the May 2025 failure warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history for unrecorded repairs. Tyre tread depth and exhaust system integrity are also critical, given the age and mileage. The MOT record provides a baseline but does not replace a physical inspection for hidden faults.
