2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · ST15 ACJ

The most recent MOT test on July 3, 2025, confirms the vehicle passed without defects, though it follows a failed attempt just one day prior—a rare but documented anomaly. The overall trend since 2023 shows no recurring mechanical failures, and the absence of advisories or defects across all tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent issues with critical systems. However, the immediate back-to-back tests in July 2025 warrant scrutiny, particularly if the failure was procedural rather than technical, as no defects were logged. For a 2015 Transit with this mileage, the lack of advisories on suspension, brakes, or emissions is notable, though in-person verification remains essential. The recorded mileage of 93,290 miles at the latest test indicates an average of approximately 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests—covering 1,938 miles in eight months—suggests either seasonal storage or reduced usage, while the rapid accumulation of 7,054 miles between January and July 2025 implies heavier recent use. No tests were missed in the past year, and the consistency in passing without defects implies the vehicle has not suffered from neglect or deferred maintenance during this period. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components that often fail without immediate MOT failings, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, particularly at the rear where binding brakes were previously flagged in some models. The brakes themselves should be checked for uneven wear, glazing, or corrosion on calipers and discs, as repeated failures on this system are uncommon in this record. Structural integrity is another concern—examine the wheel arches, sills, and subframe for corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent time in wet or salted environments. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or rust-through, as emissions-related failures are rare here but can indicate broader neglect. The absence of advisories does not preclude gradual deterioration in these areas.
