2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BD13 ACJ

The 2013 Ford Transit presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 10 September 2025 at 167,554 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests show the same clean outcome, with passes logged on 12 September 2024 at 159,775 miles, 12 September 2023 at 154,645 miles, and 8 September 2022 at 148,725 miles. The single failure on 12 September 2024 at 159,775 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed on the same day. Mileage sits at 167,554 over roughly thirteen years, averaging 12,889 per year, which is high for a light commercial of this age and points to consistent hard use rather than long idle periods. Accumulation is steady across the record: 148,725 in September 2022, 154,645 in September 2023, 159,775 in September 2024, and 167,554 in September 2025, a uniform annual increment near 8,000 miles that suggests regular commuting or delivery duty. The MOT data is sparse on advisories, with no tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and chassis rust given the vehicle's age and high mileage, as the MOT clean sheet does not certify absence of underlying fatigue. Drivetrain components, clutch wear, and gearbox condition warrant hands-on checks, since these are not assessed under MOT routine. The repeated absence of brake or suspension advisories implies previous owners kept consumables within limits, but binding calipers or worn shock absorbers can develop between tests and escape the record. Given the same-day fail and pass in September 2024 with no defects, the history reflects competent baseline upkeep rather than neglected intervals. The clean sweep across five years signals low immediate risk, though the 167,554-mile odometer demands scrutiny of cambelt interval and turbo health before purchase.
