2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MT65 YOC

The vehicle currently falls under the roadworthiness category as 'good' given its recent MOTs, but the maintenance trend appears to be improving rather than worsening, as the most recent test was passed in October 2025 at 66,863 miles. This stability contrasts with the history of the vehicle, which has experienced a series of failures over the last decade, including a severe oil leak in 2023, a binding brake issue in 2025, and worn brake discs in 2021. The mileage profile indicates a pattern of rapid accumulation that may suggest the owner has been neglecting routine checks. The vehicle's odometer has increased by 11 years, reaching 66,863 miles in 2026, which exceeds typical usage for a 2015 model. While the odometer reading is consistent with its age, the gap between the 2025 test and the 2021 record suggests that the owner may have been absent or delayed in their regular inspections, potentially allowing wear to accumulate faster than expected. The current mechanical state reveals a significant structural risk that requires immediate attention, specifically concerning the suspension and braking system. The 2025 MOT flagged a binding condition in the offside front service brakes, a symptom of worn bushings or springs that can lead to wheel rotation. The 2021 record further highlighted pitted or scored brake discs, indicating that the rubber lining has degraded and is prone to failure under load. These recurring faults in the suspension and braking components represent a serious structural integrity issue that, if left unaddressed, could cause the vehicle to become unsafe to drive immediately. The owner must inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and wheel bearings for corrosion and binding, as well as the brake discs and calipers for wear and tear. The 2025 test flagged an oil leak in the engine bay, which is a critical warning sign that requires immediate professional diagnosis before the vehicle is put into service. Given the history of binding brakes and pitted discs, the vehicle should be assessed for structural rust in the chassis and exhaust emissions, and the engine oil should be checked for contamination. A buyer must be aware that the vehicle's mechanical condition is deteriorating, and the risks of wheel failure and brake burnout are high if the identified faults are not corrected at the 2025 test.
