2013 Ford Transit Custom 290 Trend E-TEC 2.2L Diesel · YR63 AEK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its 2025-11-13 MOT at 173,374 miles, with no defects recorded. However, a prior failure on the same date at 173,355 miles—also without recorded defects—suggests potential inconsistency in testing or unresolved issues. The absence of structural or mechanical advisories in recent tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the high mileage of 173,374 miles (13,336 annually) raises concerns about wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions. The vehicle’s mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with 125,366 miles in 2019, 147,920 in 2023, and 161,388 in 2024. The gap between 2023 and 2024 tests covers 13,468 miles, while the 2024–2025 interval spans 11,986 miles. These figures align with the annual average but lack detailed breakdowns of service intervals or repairs. The MOT history is otherwise clean, with no recurring faults or structural corrosion noted, though the high mileage implies accelerated wear on consumables and drivetrain components. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn coil springs or binding calipers, check brake discs for uneven wear, and assess exhaust system integrity for corrosion. The absence of advisories does not eliminate risks from long-term high-mileage use, particularly in bearings, steering linkages, and engine mounts. Visual checks for rust on chassis rails and underbody components are also advised to confirm the vehicle’s structural resilience.
