2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · ST15 ACU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent passing MOT on 19 May 2025 at 89,411 miles. While the record shows two instances of failure immediately preceding a pass—specifically on 15 May 2025 and 21 May 2024—the lack of recorded defect descriptions makes it impossible to determine the exact mechanical cause of these failures. However, the fact that the vehicle consistently passes following these failed tests suggests that any identified issues were resolved promptly, indicating a proactive approach to MOT compliance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age. The recorded data shows a steady progression from 81,172 miles in April 2023 to 89,411 miles in May 2025. This represents an average annual usage of approximately 4,120 miles over the last two years, which is significantly lower than the historical average of 8,128 miles per year. This deceleration in mileage suggests the vehicle has seen lighter use in recent years, which typically reduces the wear rate on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. A physical inspection is necessary to confirm the quality of repairs made following the failed tests in 2024 and 2025. Since the MOT records do not specify the nature of the previous failures, a buyer should scrutinise the underside for signs of corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system. Given the age and typical usage of a Transit, checking the condition of the suspension arms, coil springs, and brake discs for excessive wear or pitting is advisable. The buyer should also verify the service history to ensure that the mechanical issues causing the 2024 and 2025 failures were addressed through proper maintenance rather than temporary fixes. While the current MOT status is clean, the recurring pattern of failure followed by a pass warrants a close look at the brake pads and tyres to ensure no recurring consumable issues exist.
