2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LJ63 ACZ

This Ford Transit presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its MOT history. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 182,960 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing without mechanical faults over the last four years, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a functional standard despite its age. The mileage is high for a 2013 model, averaging over 14,000 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between August 2022 and July 2023, where the odometer rose from 167,902 to 179,831 miles. More recently, the vehicle has seen a reduction in annual usage, covering only 1,920 miles between July 2024 and June 2025. This shift in usage patterns is notable but does not correlate with any recorded mechanical decline. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a high-mileage Transit and suggests either a rigorous preventative maintenance regime or a very lenient testing history. Because the record is devoid of mentions regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear, a physical inspection must focus on these high-wear areas. The buyer should specifically check the chassis and sills for structural rust and inspect the brake discs for pitting or thinning. Given the 182,960 total miles, the drivetrain and clutch should be tested for slip or shudder. While the MOT record shows no failures, the high mileage increases the risk of imminent wear on coil springs and shock absorbers. A manual check of the engine oil and coolant condition is recommended to ensure the internal mechanical health matches the clean MOT paperwork.
