2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YS65 MUP

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by reactive rather than preventative care. While the Transit technically passed its most recent test on August 22, 2025 at 168,548 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior for multiple critical defects. The record shows a recurring failure to address brake corrosion and suspension components, specifically between 2024 and 2025, suggesting that mechanical issues are only rectified when they threaten an MOT pass rather than during routine service intervals. At 168,548 miles over 11 years, this Ford Transit has covered a high-average distance of approximately 15,300 miles per year. The data indicates heavy usage particularly between June 2023 and August 2024, where the vehicle clocked over 11,000 miles in just 14 months. This rapid mileage accumulation places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension, which is evidenced by the failure of the engine mounting and CV boot during the 2024 test at 153,049 miles. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The tester consistently flagged corroded brake pipes on both the nearside and offside sides across 2024 and 2025, indicating an ongoing issue with oxidation that could lead to sudden fluid loss. The repeated failure of anti-roll bar ball joint covers and lower suspension arm dust covers suggests the front end suspension is reaching the end of its service life. Specifically check the offside front CV boot for grease leaks and inspect the engine mounts for excessive vibration, as the previous history indicates these areas are prone to component failure on this vehicle.
