2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · AV63 DZT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent MOT test on 18 March 2026 at 147,908 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just twelve days prior at 147,903 miles. This specific failure sequence suggests a minor, non-mechanical issue, such as a blown bulb or a minor sensor fault, which was rectified immediately before the re-test. Since January 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any advisories, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old commercial vehicle. With 147,908 miles recorded, the van averages approximately 11,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage cycles for a Ford Transit. The data shows steady accumulation between tests, such as the 8,223 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 6,627 miles between February 2025 and March 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent use rather than long periods of stagnation which often leads to internal component degradation or perished seals. While the record shows no recurring mechanical faults, a buyer should still focus a physical inspection on areas prone to wear in high-mileage Trans. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear crossmember and mounting points, as these are common points of failure on this model. You should also check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue and examine the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear. Given the lack of advisories, the vehicle appears well-cared for, but the mileage dictates that drivetrain components and rubber bushings are nearing the end of their typical service life.
