2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YT13 ADO

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 2026‑03‑09 at 104,838 miles with no defects recorded, confirming it meets current roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement after the 2022 test, where rear brake discs, suspension arm bushes, brake pipes and a registration plate lamp were flagged. Subsequent tests in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 are clean, indicating those issues have been rectified and the van is now in a stable condition. From 2016 to 2026 the mileage rose from 23,155 to 104,838 miles, averaging roughly 8,000 miles per year. The annual increase remained modest (≈4‑5k miles) until 2023, after which the rate accelerated to 16‑17k miles annually. This shift suggests heavier utilisation, possibly fleet or commercial use, but remains within expected wear for a 13‑year‑old transit. MOT intervals are roughly annual, with the most recent test only four months before the present date, confirming recent compliance. A buyer should inspect the rear brake discs for scoring or pitting, as wear was recorded in 2022 and may recur. The front suspension arm bushes and associated pins require close examination, given the 2022 advisories. Brake pipes on the nearside and offside front must be checked for corrosion or grease contamination. Lamp circuits—position, fog, stop and registration plate—need verification, as multiple lamp faults appeared in 2020 and 2022. Wiper blades and tyre condition should be assessed; a nail in the rear tyre was noted in 2017, and wiper effectiveness was cited in 2020. Finally, any signs of oil leakage around the engine and undercarriage should be evaluated, as an oil leak was documented in 2017. Structural integrity appears sound; no rust or chassis damage was reported. The combination of a recent clean MOT and identified wear items suggests routine maintenance will keep the van roadworthy. Potential owners should retain service records and address the highlighted components before further use.
