Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution due to a re
When inspecting this Transit, focus heavily on the braking system. The history shows repeated failures for worn discs and corroded pipes, so verify if these parts were replaced or merely cleaned. A full service history is essential to confirm that the high mileage has been offset by regular maintenance intervals, particularly regarding the 2.2-litre diesel engine's oil change requirements.
Negotiate the price based on the potential need for immediate brake system refurbishment and a professional assessment of the reported sub-frame corrosion. Check the underside of the vehicle specifically for signs of rust treatment, as the 2023 MOT noted sub-frame corrosion which requires monitoring to ensure it has not progressed to a structural failure.
As a commercial vehicle with a 2.2-litre diesel engine, you should expect moderate fuel consumption, which will vary significantly depending on the load carried. Insurance groups for Transits are generally higher than passenger cars, and you should factor in the cost of commercial-grade tyres and regular maintenance for a high-mileage van.
Annual running costs, including VED, insurance, and routine maintenance, are estimated to be between £1,800 and £2,500, depending on your annual mileage and usage. Given the MOT history, budget an additional contingency fund for potential suspension and brake repairs that may arise during the next inspection.
Prioritise a physical inspection of the rear brake pipes and the front sub-frame. The MOT history explicitly mentions brake pipe corrosion covered in grease, which can sometimes mask the severity of the decay; ensure these pipes are sound and not just surface-treated. Check all four brake discs for signs of pitting or scoring, as this has been a consistent failure point for this specific van.
Test the windscreen wipers and all exterior lighting, specifically the registration plate lamps, as these have caused MOT failures in the past. Additionally, check the suspension arms and bushes for any play, as the 2023 MOT noted wear in the offside front lower suspension arm bush, which may have deteriorated further since that observation.
This 2015 Ford Transit has covered 120,780 miles, which is significantly higher than the typical annual average for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history reveals consistent issues with the braking system, including multiple failures related to worn discs and corroded brake pipes. While the vehicle has passed its most recent tests, the recurring nature of these faults suggests a need for a thorough assessment of the chassis and mechanical components.
The Ford Transit is a high-volume commercial vehicle; while generally robust, aggregate data shows that corrosion and lighting issues are common failure points, which aligns with this specific vehicle's history.
