2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LM15 RMY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in June 2025 at 130,709 miles flagged multiple advisories related to worn front tyres and thin rear inner brake pads. While the vehicle passed, the recurring nature of thinning brake components across several years suggests that the owner only addresses wear and tear items when they approach a failure threshold or are highlighted during inspection. The mileage progression is consistent with an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. Between the July 2024 test at 124,402 miles and the June 2025 test at 130,709 miles, the Transit covered 6,307 miles, indicating a steady and predictable usage pattern. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which generally helps against the degradation of rubber seals and fluid components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the record shows a persistent trend of thinning pads on both front and rear axles from 2021 through 2025. The 2023 advisory regarding a deteriorated nearside front brake hose requires a physical check for cracking or bulging, as such hoses can fail suddenly. Additionally, the coolant leak noted in 2022 should be verified to ensure the cooling system was properly rectified and that the engine has not suffered stress from overheating. Given the vehicle's age and role, a close look at the chassis for structural corrosion is also essential, though these were not specifically highlighted in the recent advisories.
