2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LH03 NJH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing wear-related defects. The most recent test in July 2025 at 70,812 miles identified wear on both the nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes. While the vehicle passed, the appearance of these advisories indicates that rubber components in the front suspension are beginning to reach their operational limit due to age rather than high mileage. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle averaging averaging 6,400 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 59,668 miles and the July 2025 test at 70,812 miles, the vehicle covered 11,144 miles. This low annual usage suggests the van has not been subjected to heavy long-distance cycles, though low mileage often correlates with the perishing of rubber components and tyres, as seen in the recurring faults. A buyer must specifically inspect the nearside rear tyre, as it has been flagged for cracking and perishing across three consecutive annual tests in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The persistent nature of this advisory suggests the owner has neglected replacing the tyre despite visible age-related degradation. Furthermore, the front suspension arm bushes should be checked for play or further tearing, as the 2025 advisory indicates they are deteriorating and will likely require replacement shortly to maintain steering precision and uneven tyre wear.
