2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · P88 PAA

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear trend of deteriorating suspension components and brake line corrosion. The most recent test in February 2026 at 72,304 miles identified new tyre wear on the front edges and persistent corrosion on the offside rear inner brake pipe. While the vehicle consistently passes its tests, the frequency of suspension-related advisories suggests that rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life despite the vehicle's relatively low overall mileage. At 72,304 miles over 11 years, the Transit has averaged approximately 6,573 miles per year, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. The record shows a clean period between 2018 and 2021, where no defects were noted. However, the mileage accumulation has accelerated slightly since 2022, with the vehicle covering over 22,000 miles in those four years. This suggests the vehicle is currently in a more active phase of use, which explains the appearance of mechanical wear and age-related issues. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the offside front lower suspension arm bushes, which have been flagged in three consecutive tests since 2024. The recurring corrosion on the brake pipes, specifically on the offside rear, indicates a vulnerability to environmental degradation that requires close monitoring to prevent a sudden hydraulic failure. Additionally, the exhaust silencer and bracket corrosion noted in 2025 should be checked for structural thinning, and the nearside front CV boot should be inspected for any signs of grease leakage to ensure the previous failure in 2023 was properly rectified.
