2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · WA65 WFT

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on February 20 2026 at 236,879 miles, with only a minor advisory for light misting on the front shock absorbers. This represents a significant improvement over the major failure in November 2024, where the vehicle presented an extensive list of mechanical and safety defects. The clean result in November 2024 suggests that the critical issues previously identified were addressed, though the high mileage indicates the vehicle is nearing the end of its operational life for many heavy components. At 11 years old, this Transit has covered 236,879 miles, averaging over 21,500 miles per year. This high-intensity usage is consistent with the rapid wear patterns observed in the test history. The November 2024 failure at 223,051 miles revealed a pattern of deferred maintenance, including split CV boots, excessively worn suspension arm bushes, damaged engine mounts, and worn brake pads. While these appear to have been rectified for the subsequent pass, the sheer mileage suggests that the drivetrain and suspension geometry are under constant high-stress conditions. The inspection history shows a persistent trend of corrosion across the sub-frame, anti-roll bar, and leaf springs. Although the tester noted these as not seriously weakened in both 2023 and 2024, the presence of rust on multiple structural points is a known factor for high-mileage vans. Additionally, recurring issues with corroded brake pipes and oil leaks indicate a vehicle that requires frequent fluid monitoring. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the front sub-frame and the integrity of the CV boots to ensure no new failures have occurred since the last test.
