2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YS65 AAO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT data. The most recent test on 14 February 2025 at 162,698 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its initial test on the same day at 162,682 miles, the record provides no specific defect details for that failure, suggesting the issues were rectified immediately to achieve the pass. The mileage is high for an 11 year old vehicle, averaging nearly 15,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between November 2023 and February 2025, where the odometer rose from 136,563 to 162,698 miles. This represents over 26,000 miles covered in roughly 15 months. Such rapid accumulation often accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The MOT history is unusually clean, with no recorded advisories or defects across multiple years. While this suggests a well-maintained vehicle, it is atypical for a high-mileage Transit. A buyer should manually inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as the records do not highlight any structural integrity issues. Particular attention should be paid to the brake discs and pads, as well as the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers. Given the high mileage and the lack of documented failures, it is essential to verify that consumables have been replaced on a schedule rather than simply lasting until the point of failure. Check for oil leaks around the engine and gearbox to ensure the high mileage has not led to seal degradation.
