2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SH14 UNJ

This 2015 Ford Transit passed its most recent MOT in April 2026, but only after failing a day earlier due to several significant safety defects. The vehicle's condition trend is worsening. While the 2024 test was clean, the 2025 and 2026 tests show a pattern of neglect regarding basic maintenance. Recent failures include dangerously worn tyres with exposed cords, severely worn rear brake pads and discs, and a split CV boot. The 2025 failure also highlighted corroded front brake pipes and worn suspension bushes. The mileage of 91,392 over 11 years is typical for this age, suggesting regular use. However, the nature of the failures—specifically the tyres being run down to the cords and brakes being worn to less than 1.5mm—indicates a lack of preventative maintenance rather than standard wear and tear. A buyer should be concerned that the owner only addressed critical faults when forced to by an MOT failure. When inspecting the vehicle, prioritize checking the condition of all four tyres and the brake discs for pitting or wear. Carefully inspect the front brake pipes for corrosion and check the CV boots for any new splits.
