2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YT65 NPE

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a comprehensive failure on July 21, 2026, at 233,830 miles. The maintenance trend has deteriorated significantly and recently. While the vehicle previously passed several tests without defects, the most recent inspection reveals a systemic collapse of basic safety and mechanical upkeep standards. The presence of an ABS fault, a supplementary restraint system warning lamp, and critical brake failures indicates that major mechanical issues have been neglected or developed rapidly under heavy use. At 233,830 miles, this Ford Transit has averaged over 21,000 miles per year, indicating consistent heavy-duty commercial use. The data shows a consistent and rapid accumulation of mileage, with 12,614 miles covered between the July 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,957 miles in the final year before the failure. This high mileage profile has placed immense strain on the drivetrain and wear components, which is evidenced by the progression from a minor oil leak noted in 2024 to an excessive engine leak recorded in the July 2026 test. A buyer must exercise extreme caution regarding the recurring suspension and braking issues. Front suspension arm bushes and ball joints have been flagged for wear since 2022, finally progressing to excessive wear and failure in the most recent test. The braking system is in a critical state, with thin rear pads, scored discs, and excessively corroded front brake pipes that pose an immediate safety risk. The excessive hydraulic fluid leak from the steering system and the engine oil leak also require a professional diagnostic to determine if these are simple seal failures or indicate internal component failure.
