2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF13 XCV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-10 at 148,472 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior failed test on 2026-04-08 at the same mileage showed no defects, raising questions about the accuracy or consistency of the assessment. The 2025-03-28 tests at 144,366 miles also passed and failed without recorded issues, suggesting potential administrative or procedural irregularities. Overall, the maintenance trend lacks clear evidence of recurring mechanical faults, but the absence of defect details in multiple tests limits confidence in the reliability of the records. The vehicle’s mileage of 148,472 miles at 13 years old aligns with an average of 11,421 miles annually, a typical figure for its age. The 2024-03-25 test at 139,466 miles preceded a 4,899-mile increase by 2025-03-28, followed by a 4,106-mile rise to 148,472 by 2026-04-10. These increments suggest steady usage without significant gaps, though the lack of detailed defect reports in all tests obscures any potential wear patterns. The clean MOT history from 2024 to 2026 implies no critical failures, but the repeated failures without recorded issues warrant scrutiny. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear, as older vans often experience gradual degradation. The absence of exhaust emission or structural integrity notes in the records does not preclude hidden corrosion or drivetrain fatigue. Additionally, the brakes and steering systems should be inspected for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop over time without immediate MOT failures. The lack of detailed defect data means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the recorded tests.
