2015 Ford Transit Courier 1.5L Diesel · MJ64 DXY

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently acceptable, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent test on 19 October 2023, this followed a significant failure ten days prior on 9 October 2023. That failure revealed multiple critical safety defects, including worn-out brake pads and illegal tyre tread, suggesting that basic maintenance items were only addressed when necessitated by the MOT inspection process rather than during regular servicing intervals. The mileage data indicates high-intensity usage consistent with a commercial light vehicle. Between January 2020 (168,954 miles) and March 2021 (177,685 miles), the vehicle covered approximately 8,731 miles in 14 months. However, there is a notable data gap regarding mileage between the 2021 test and the 2023 tests. Without the mileage figures from the most recent records, it is impossible to determine the current rate of accumulation or the degree of wear on mechanical components over the last two years. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. The October 2023 failure for front brake pads at under 1.5mm indicates that the system was operating at the absolute limit of safety before being rectified. Furthermore, the February 2022 advisory noted all four tyres were worn close to the legal limit or on the edges, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The buyer should also verify the electrical system, as recurring failures regarding headlamps, stop lamps, and registration lights across different years suggest a lack of attention to minor exterior electrical faults.
