2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · ST15 AEJ

The 2015 Ford Transit’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-30 at 175,533 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a prior test on 2025-04-25 at the same mileage failed without recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or a retest following minor non-compliance, though the absence of defect details limits clarity. Overall, the maintenance trend shows stability in recent tests, with no recurring mechanical failures noted in the past three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 175,533 miles at 11 years old equates to approximately 15,958 miles annually, significantly above average for its age. A 20,841-mile increase between 2023-04-27 (129,703 miles) and 2024-04-19 (150,544 miles) indicates rapid usage, likely accelerating wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. The lack of defects in multiple MOTs suggests diligent maintenance, but the high annual mileage raises concerns about long-term reliability of suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust emissions systems. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of excessive brake disc wear, corrosion in underbody components, and suspension fatigue, particularly given the high mileage. While no structural integrity issues were flagged, the absence of defect records in failed tests warrants scrutiny of repair history. Focus on checking for binding calipers, uneven tyre tread, and exhaust system leaks, as these are common risks in vehicles with sustained high-mileage operation.
