2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AV13 LRA

The most recent MOT on 15 May 2025 records a pass at 169,072 miles, indicating the vehicle met the statutory requirements at that date. A simultaneous fail entry for the same test shows no defects, suggesting an administrative discrepancy rather than a mechanical issue; overall the pattern of passes across 2023, 2024 and 2025 points to a stable roadworthiness trend. At 169,072 miles the 2013 Ford Transit averages roughly 13,000 miles per year, well above the typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage rose from 139,295 miles in May 2023 to 154,657 miles in May 2024, then to 169,072 miles in May 2025, each interval adding about 15,000 miles. This consistent high mileage suggests sustained daily or commercial use, which accelerates wear on tyres, suspension components and drivetrain parts, though the MOT record itself contains no recorded defects. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to tyre tread depth and uniform wear, as high mileage often leads to uneven degradation. Inspect the brake discs and pads for glazing or excessive wear, and check that the calipers operate without binding. Examine the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of corrosion or cracking, especially around mounting points. A visual survey of the chassis for rust, especially in wheel arches and underbody, will confirm whether structural integrity has been maintained despite the vehicle’s extensive use.
