2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LJ65 WLO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative servicing. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 106,904 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just one day prior. This failure was caused by a faulty brake servo and minor tyre defects. While the vehicle has passed its latest inspection, the recurring nature of braking system failures across multiple years suggests that the owner only addressed critical mechanical faults when they directly threatened the MOT certificate. At 106,904 miles over 11 years, the Transit has averaged approximately 9,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with roughly 6,600 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 3,200 miles between August 2024 and 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the nearside front door pillar. The 2023 test at 97,020 miles flagged deterioration in this area, and although it passed at the time, rust on Transit vans often progresses rapidly if not treated. Additionally, the nearside drive shaft CV boot, noted as severely deteriorated in 2023, should be checked for grease leaks or tearing which would indicate an imminent joint failure. The braking system requires particular scrutiny. The record shows the brake servo failed in both 2024 and 2025, alongside thin brake pads noted in 2023. This indicates a history of neglecting the hydraulic braking components. The buyer should verify the brake pedal feel is firm and inspect the calipers for signs of binding or leaks. Finally, the 2025 advisories regarding perishing and cut tyres indicate that the current rubber is nearing the end of its functional life regardless of remaining tread depth.
