2015 Ford Transit Custom 270 Trend Etech 2.2L Diesel · SN65 SFU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 December 2025 with 162,684 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of inconsistency. While the vehicle suffered failures in late 2023 and 2024, the two most recent tests recorded no defects whatsoever, suggesting that the previous owner has addressed outstanding issues and is currently maintaining the van in a stable state regarding its primary safety components. At 11 years old, the recorded 162,684 miles represent a high-usage profile averaging approximately 14,800 miles per annum. The data shows consistent and heavy use, particularly noting the 14,504 miles covered between the November 2024 and December 2025 tests. This rapid accumulation indicates the vehicle was likely used for consistent commercial work rather than sitting stationary. Such high mileage typically puts significant strain on heavy-duty components such as the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and cooling system, which require diligent monitoring to prevent age-related failure. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension assembly, as the high mileage often accelerates the wear of coil springs and ball joints. Given the previous failures in 2023 and 2024, it is vital to check for structural corrosion on the frame members and mounting points where moisture often collects on this model. Although the recent records are clean, the mechanical age of the vehicle suggests that brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or binding to ensure they are not nearing the end of their operational life despite the recent MOT pass.
