2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SR15 CNF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its latest test in September 2025 at 120,027 miles, the failure just two weeks prior revealed multiple critical safety and mechanical defects. The presence of a fractured central engine mounting bracket and weakened, cut seat belt webbing suggests that significant components were overlooked until they failed inspection standards. The transition from a major failure to a pass indicates the owner only addresses faults when necessary to maintain the legal certificate. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 100,080 miles and the August 2024 test at 112,083 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 12,000 miles. This steady rate of use typically puts predictable wear on heavy-duty components. However, the jump of nearly 8,000 miles between August 2024 and September 2025 shows a period of high activity which has likely accelerated the degradation of the engine seals and mounting hardware. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the underbody and engine bay. The September 2025 record noted a heavily corroded sump and a persistent oil leak from the offside of the engine, which requires monitoring to ensure the leak does not escalate into a catastrophic failure. The 2023 advisory regarding corroded brake pipes covered in grease necessitates a physical check to ensure that corrosion has not compromised the integrity of the hydraulic lines. Furthermore, the insecure door hinges flagged in the 2025 failure should be checked for structural integrity at the door pillars to ensure the mounting points are not rotting or thinning.
