Our Verdict
A solid purchase for those needing a workhorse, provided the recent MOT history is understood. The vehicle shows a consistent pattern of passing its tests after minor interventions.
When inspecting this Transit, focus on the service history to ensure the 2.2L engine has been maintained according to Ford's intervals, especially given the higher-than-average mileage. Check for any signs of the common model failures mentioned in aggregate data, such as corrosion on the chassis or worn tyres.
Since the vehicle has experienced two MOT failures in the last two years (2024 and 2025), ask the seller for specific details on what caused those failures, even though the records show no specific defect descriptions. Verifying that these were minor items like bulbs or tyres will provide peace of mind.
As a 2198cc diesel, running costs will be dictated by payload and driving style. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized van, though costs will rise if heavily loaded. Tax and insurance groups for a 2015 Transit vary depending on the specific load rating and driver profile.
Maintenance costs for this model can be predictable, but given the mileage is well above the annual average, you should budget for more frequent consumable replacements such as brakes, tyres, and suspension components.
Pay close attention to the exterior and underbody for signs of corrosion, as this is a top failure reason for this model across the UK. Check the condition of all headlamps and lighting elements, as headlamp issues are a frequent reason for MOT failures in the aggregate data.
Inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition thoroughly. Given the vehicle's history of recent MOT failures, ensuring that all safety-critical components like tyres and lights are in good order is essential before completing a purchase.
This 2015 silver Ford Transit features a 2.2L diesel engine and has covered 80,961 miles as of its last MOT in July 2025. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,935 miles per year, reflecting its likely use as a commercial vehicle. While the MOT history shows two recent failures, both were resolved quickly with successful passes recorded immediately after.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 74.4% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
