2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YK65 RXV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of decline following years of clean records. The most recent test on 29 May 2026 at 133,440 miles introduced two defects: a corroded brake pipe covered in grease or other material, and a minor cut on the nearside rear tyre. While the vehicle passed these repairs, the appearance of brake-related corrosion after several years of no faults suggests that the underbody components are beginning to succumb to environmental wear and age. The mileage pattern is consistent with a heavy commercial life, averaging approximately 12,100 miles per year over its eleven-year lifespan. There is a significant jump in usage between August 2018 and September 2019, where the vehicle covered nearly 14,000 miles in just thirteen months. Since 2021, the usage has remained steady, with roughly 3,500 to 6,000 miles added between each annual MOT test. This high-mileage consistent use profile places substantial stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is typical for a Ford Transit of this age. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and underbody structure. The presence of a corroded brake pipe in the 2026 test, specifically the attempt to hide the rust with grease, necessitates a close look for further thinning of metal lines or structural corrosion on the chassis. Given the high mileage, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of fatigue or leakage. The buyer should also inspect the tyres for further sidewall damage to ensure the cut noted on the nearside rear tyre has not progressed into a structural failure.
