Our Verdict
This Ford Transit is a sensible option for those needing a workhorse with relatively consistent MOT results. While it has seen significant use, the recent history shows no recorded defects in the last two years.
When inspecting this 2013 Transit, focus on the high mileage relative to its age. You should verify the service history to ensure the 2.2L diesel engine has received regular oil changes, as high-mileage commercial engines are sensitive to maintenance intervals.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT history is relatively clean, the vehicle has covered much more ground than the average Transit in our database. Check the condition of the tyres and headlamps, as these are common failure points for this model across our aggregate data.
As a 2198cc diesel, running costs will be influenced by load and driving style. Fuel economy will vary depending on whether it is used for urban deliveries or motorway cruising.
Expect typical commercial vehicle insurance groups and tax bands for a 2013 Ford Transit. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for higher than a passenger car, particularly regarding consumables like tyres and brakes, given the recorded mileage of nearly 119,000 miles.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the headlamps, tyres, and anti-roll bars, as these are the most frequent causes of MOT failure for Transits. Even though this specific vehicle passed its 2023 MOT with no defects, these components should be physically inspected for wear.
Given the 2022 MOT failure, though no specific defect was recorded in the summary, it is worth checking the underside for any signs of recent repairs or corrosion. Ensure the diesel engine runs smoothly without excessive smoke, which can be a concern on high-mileage units.
Registered in September 2013, this white 2.2L diesel Transit has covered 118,901 miles as of its last MOT in early 2023. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,900 miles per year, which is typical for a commercial vehicle of this type. The MOT history shows one failure in May 2022, but the subsequent tests in 2022 and 2023 were passed without any recorded defects.
The Ford Transit shows a 74.4% average MOT pass rate across 731,415 analysed vehicles, with headlamps, tyres, and anti-roll bars being the primary failure reasons.
