2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF13 GVG

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 June 2025 with 126,824 miles and no recorded defects. While the history shows instances of failure on the same dates as passes, the subsequent clean results indicate that identified issues were addressed prior to retesting. The trend suggests a reactive approach to maintaining MOT compliance rather than a pattern of escalating mechanical degradation or structural decay. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between November 2022 and January 2024, the vehicle covered 1,795 miles, indicating a period of lower use. However, it then accumulated 8,825 miles between the January 2024 and June 2025 tests. This more recent activity suggests that the wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings is likely tied to active operational hours rather than age-related seizing associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure areas for Transits of this era. Despite the lack of recorded advisories in the latest test, the previous failures necessitate checking for hidden corrosion on the chassis rails and play in the wish arms or drop links. Checking the brake calipers for binding and inspecting the exhaust system is also advisable to ensure that the recent clean passes reflect genuine mechanical health rather than just temporary fixes.
