2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MJ65 PBU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of deferred attention to mechanical wear items. The most recent test in October 2025 at 130,748 miles flagged fluctuating front service brakes and worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both front sides. While the vehicle consistently passes, the recurrence of these suspension issues across the last three years indicates that the previous owner is only addressing faults once they reach the threshold of an MOT advisory, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 99,794 miles and October 2025 at 130,748 miles, the Transit covered over 30,000 miles, representing a steady and predictable operational load. This consistent usage explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and braking hardware, such as the deteriorated CV boot and the perishing tyres noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the arm pins and bushes have been flagged as worn in every test since 2021. The tester noted noted significant movement was not yet excessive, but the longevity of this advisory suggests they are nearing functional failure. Furthermore, the fluctuating front brakes reported in 2025 suggest warped discs or sticking calipers which will likely require replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance. You should also verify the offside front CV boot to ensure the replacement following the 2024 failure was effective and has not suffered a new tear.
