2013 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · AF13 XBW

The Ford Transit Connect presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 16 December 2025 at 97,119 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came one day after a failed attempt on 15 December 2025 at the same mileage, though the failure recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or unlogged rectification rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests show the same pattern in December 2024, where a failure on 9 December at 94,732 miles preceded a pass on 12 December at 94,733 miles with no defects listed. The mileage stands at 97,119 miles against a 2013 registration, equating to roughly 7,471 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a light commercial vehicle of this age. Annual increments are modest: 91,726 miles in December 2023, 94,733 in December 2024, and 97,119 in December 2025, showing consistent low annual accumulation of around 2,400 to 3,000 miles. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories or defects logged on any pass or failure, so the record gives limited insight into wear on consumables or structural condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion, as the clean MOT history does not confirm absence of wear beneath test thresholds. The repeated same-mileage failures with no recorded defects suggest clerical issues at the testing station rather than owner neglect, but they warrant verification of the V5C and test certificates. Given the vehicle's age, examine exhaust emissions and structural integrity closely before purchase.
