2013 FORD TRANSIT2.2L Diesel

The 2013 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 25 February 2026 at 97,446 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared the February 2026 test with no defects logged, indicating acceptable condition at the time of examination. Prior failures on 12 February 2026 and 5 February 2025 show no recorded defects against the vehicle, which points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old van, with the record showing 95,275 miles in February 2024, 96,547 miles in February 2025, and 97,446 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 1,200 miles per year across the documented period, well below the implied annual average of 7,496 miles for the vehicle's life. The sparse and clean record offers little insight into consumable wear, though the low recent usage suggests prolonged standing periods that can degrade tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes through inactivity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly along the chassis rails and sills where Transits of this era commonly suffer. The absence of advisories across all five tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, so the tester may not have scrutinised worn suspension components or minor exhaust deterioration closely. Check the brake calipers for binding after the long low-mileage intervals, and verify tyre sidewall condition given the standing time implied by the mileage pattern. Given the repeated no-defect failures, confirm with the seller what caused the 2025 and 2026 rejections before purchase. The clean pass on 25 February 2026 remains valid and current relative to today's date, but the lack of flagged wear items means a independent pre-sale examination of drivetrain and steering joints is warranted.
