2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AE13 SXA

The 2013 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 28 February 2025 at 198,600 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed cleanly, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical or structural decline across the observed period. The single failure on 15 March 2023 at 177,297 miles carried no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or unlogged issue rather than a physical fault. At approximately 13 years old the van has covered 198,600 miles, averaging roughly 15,277 miles per year which is high for its age and points to sustained commercial use. Mileage advanced from 158,582 at the March 2022 test to 177,303 by March 2023, then jumped to 198,533 by March 2024 and 198,600 by February 2025. The near-static 67-mile increase between March 2024 and February 2025 implies the vehicle saw minimal operation in that final year, contrasting with heavier earlier use. The MOT history is sparse and clean, with no advisories logged across any entry. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high lifetime mileage and the 2023-2024 usage pattern. The clean record provides no flagged corrosion or exhaust emissions concerns, yet standing periods following high use can precipitate seized calipers or underbody rust not captured in a pass result. Verify the 2023 failure cause through DVSA documentation, as the absence of recorded defects leaves the reason unconfirmed.
