Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Focus your attention on the braking system and chassis. The MOT records from 2024 and 2025 specifically mention corroded brake pipes being 'covered in grease,' which is often a temporary measure to pass an inspection rather than a permanent repair. You should verify if these pipes have been fully replaced or if they remain a risk.
Additionally, check the service records for evidence of suspension work. Front suspension arm bushes and rear brake discs were flagged as worn or pitted in both 2023 and 2024. If these parts have not been replaced, they should be used as a point of negotiation on the final price.
The 2198cc diesel engine is designed for commercial durability, but fuel costs will be significant depending on usage. Maintenance costs for a Transit of this age and mileage are typically higher, especially given the recurring corrosion issues noted in the MOT history.
Annual costs will include road tax based on the 2015 diesel emissions bracket and insurance for a commercial vehicle. Expect higher-than-average spend on consumables like brake pads and tyres, which are common wear items for this model.
The most critical area for inspection is the underside of the vehicle. Specifically, look for the condition of the brake pipes to see if the corrosion noted in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests has been permanently addressed or merely masked with grease. This aligns with the model's aggregate data, which lists corrosion as a top failure reason.
Inspect the front suspension for any excessive movement or play, as the rear bushes of the front suspension arms were flagged in two consecutive years. Finally, check the windscreen for the chip recorded in the November 2025 test to determine if it requires replacement.
This silver 2015 Ford Transit has recorded 124,847 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history shows a consistent pass rate across four tests, but there is a persistent pattern of advisories concerning corroded brake pipes and worn suspension components from 2023 through 2025.
The Ford Transit has an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with corrosion being one of the most frequent reasons for failure across the model range.
