FORD TRANSIT2013 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2023 at 143,330 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards at that time. While a failure was recorded back in March 2020, the immediate rectification and subsequent years of clean results suggest a proactive approach to maintaining the mechanical integrity. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between April 2021 and April 2023, the vehicle covered 16,219 miles, representing a steady usage rate rather than heavy commercial cycles or prolonged neglect. The gap between the March 2020 and 2021 tests is the only anomaly in the timeline, but the rapid re-test five days after the initial failure indicates the vehicle was in active operational use during that period. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the final tests, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components typical for a Transit of this age. A buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often degrade without triggering an MOT failure. Checking the chassis for structural corrosion on the rear member mounting points is also essential, as the MOT record does not detail the depth of surface rust that may eventually lead to a failure.
