2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SB65 WEX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. While the most recent test in January 2025 at 145,410 miles passed, it carried multiple advisories regarding brake components and suspension wear. The pattern shows a stable but deteriorating state in the braking system, with recurring issues involving pitted discs and corroded brake pipes persisting across several years, suggesting that components are only addressed once they approach the point of failure. The Ford Transit has covered 145,410 miles over 11 years, averaging approximately 13,200 miles per year. This high mileage is consistent with heavy commercial use, which naturally accelerates the degradation of mechanical parts. There is a notable period of low use between January 2023 and January 2024, where the vehicle covered only 10 miles in a full year. This period of lower activity correlates with the significant failure in early 2024, where the tester flagged binding rear brakes and an engine oil leak, issues that may have suffered from sitting stationary. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking and suspension assemblies. The record shows persistent pitting and scored front brake discs since 2024, alongside ongoing corrosion on the rear brake pipes which requires close monitoring to prevent sudden fluid loss. The offside front suspension arm bush was flagged as worn in 2025 and should be checked for excessive movement which could affect handling. Furthermore, the history of power steering hose seepage noted in 2022 and 2023 should be verified to ensure the leak has been fully resolved and not merely worsening.
