2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · JF51 DEL

The 2013 Ford Transit presents a stable and favourable roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 141,553 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year clean pass sequence. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring fault pattern across the available history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old light commercial vehicle. The records show 104,620 miles at the 27 May 2022 test, rising to 115,921 by 16 May 2023, 128,716 by 16 May 2024, and 141,553 by 12 May 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 13,000 miles per year, with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse in advisories but clean, indicating the previous keeper kept the van to a basic test-standard regime. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and loading cycle of a Transit chassis. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural advisories is reassuring, yet MOT passes with zero defects often omit wear beneath test thresholds. Verify the service history matches the odometer and check for early brake caliper binding or exhaust emissions drift before purchase. The record implies conscientious test compliance rather than proof of proactive mechanical care.
