2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MJ65 LFF

The 2025 MOT (129,701 miles) passed but flagged two ongoing issues: worn nearside front suspension arm pin/bush (not excessive movement) and a corroded brake pipe covered in grease. These were also noted in the 2024 and 2023 MOTs, indicating persistent, unresolved wear. Suspension wear has appeared in every MOT since 2023, and brake pipe corrosion has been recorded three times in the last four tests. Brake discs show scoring on both front discs since 2023, with rear brake pads wearing thin in 2024 and 2023. Front brake fluctuation has been noted twice since 2023. While none of these are fail conditions, their recurrence suggests gradual deterioration rather than stability. Mileage of ~11,791 miles per year over 11 years is typical, but the absence of defects in 2021 and 2022—followed by a sudden onset of multiple issues from 2023 onward—suggests a possible acceleration in wear, possibly due to harder use, poor maintenance, or lack of early intervention. The jump from 99,814 miles in 2022 to 111,374 in 2023 (11,560 miles in one year) may correlate with the start of recurring faults. This is not a clean history: the vehicle has accumulated multiple minor-to-moderate defects consistently over the last three MOTs, especially in braking and suspension—critical safety systems. The brake pipe corrosion is particularly concerning, as it could lead to fluid leakage and brake failure if left unaddressed.
