2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · OE63 ACU

The Ford Transit presents a broadly roadworthy status following the 13 August 2025 MOT test at 101,283 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, with clean passes on 16 July 2024 at 95,777 miles and 15 August 2023 at 93,070 miles. The vehicle failed on 11 August 2025 at 101,280 miles and previously on 14 August 2023 at 93,070 miles, yet both failure entries show no defects recorded. This anomaly implies procedural or administrative irregularities rather than escalating mechanical decay. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical light commercial use for a thirteen-year-old van. The odometer advanced from 93,070 miles in August 2023 to 95,777 miles by July 2024, a modest 2,707 miles over eleven months. By the August 2025 test it reached 101,283 miles, adding 5,506 miles across the subsequent thirteen months. Average yearly distance sits near 7,791 miles, below heavy-duty expectations. The sparse MOT history spanning only 2023 to 2025 offers limited longitudinal insight, though no rapid accumulation or standing stagnation is evident. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related components not captured by the clean tests. Ford Transit chassis of this era commonly exhibit corrosion on sills and suspension mounts; examine structural integrity closely. Assess suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue, alongside exhaust emissions compliance. The unexplained failures with zero defects warrant a DVSA data check to confirm no suppressed advisories. Previous keepers presented the van for retest within days both times, suggesting administrative correction rather than neglected consumables like tyres or wiper blades.
