2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · NV65 AEX

The vehicle shows a history of recurring mechanical and structural issues that suggest a reactive approach to maintenance. The most recent test in January 2026 at 118,597 miles confirmed the presence of a persistent front oil leak and a worn nearside front wishbone rear bush. While the vehicle passed, the presence of corrosion on the nearside and offside rear inner structural sections indicates an ongoing process of degradation. This structural corrosion was previously noted on the sills and inner structures in 2023, and although it has not yet compromised structural rigidity, it remains a point of close monitoring. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old Ford Transit, averaging roughly 10,800 miles per year. However, there is a significant discrepancy in the records between November 2020 and August 2023, where the vehicle recorded 162,553 miles in 2020 but only 118,597 miles in 2026. This reverse mileage progression suggests either an odometer reading error or a period of much lower usage than the current average. The 2023 failure was particularly critical, involving a dangerous exhaust emission and and structural holes in the nearside rear sill that required immediate repair before the subsequent pass. Braking and suspension components show frequent wear and failure. The tester flagged corroded brake pipes on multiple occasions between 2022 and 2023, often masked by grease or paint to hide the rust. The suspension has also struggled with worn wishbone bushes and ball joints across several testing years, while a binding offside rear brake was noted in early 2025. A buyer should inspect the underside for further advanced structural rot and verify the integrity of the brake lines, as the vehicle has a clear history of significant corrosion in these areas.
