2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AF63 OFE

The 2013 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 24 November 2025 at 167,516 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The test on the same date initially logged a fail with no defects cited, a clear administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass confirms the vehicle cleared the check. Across the prior three years the record shows consecutive passes with no advisories, indicating no worsening patterns in braking, suspension, or structural condition. The recorded mileage of 167,516 at the 2025 test reflects an average annual accumulation of roughly 12,886 miles, high for a 13-year-old van but consistent with light commercial use. The annual increments are moderate: 152,681 miles in December 2022, 160,277 in November 2023, 164,115 in November 2024, and 167,516 in November 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean history with zero advisories across five tests suggests the previous keeper addressed wear proactively, though the absence of flagged items limits insight into consumable replacement cycles. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural corrosion on chassis rails and sill sections, as the MOT record never listed such defects but Transit vans of this era commonly suffer hidden rust. The tester logged no suspension bush or coil spring wear, yet at 167,516 miles the front lower arms and rear leaf spring mounts warrant hands-on checks for play. Brake disc thickness and caliper operation remain unrecorded as faults but merit measurement given the mileage. Given the sparse but clean record, the van shows no evidence of skipped upkeep or recurring mechanical trends. The identical-mileage pass-fail-pass on 24 November 2025 points to clerical error, not deferred maintenance. Prospective owners should verify service history papers to confirm intervals for timing belt, fuel filter, and transmission oil absent from MOT data.
