2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · BD13 VRE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, with the most recent DVSA test on 11 July 2025 at 190,417 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing annual examinations and clean outcomes aside from an anomalous failure. The test on 7 July 2023 at 170,918 miles resulted in a fail yet listed no defects, pointing to a procedural or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical deficiency. The 2013 Ford Transit displays 190,417 miles over approximately thirteen years, equating to a mean of 14,647 miles per year. Recorded distances advance steadily: 163,974 miles at the 26 July 2022 test, 170,947 at the 10 July 2023 pass, 178,970 at 8 July 2024, and 190,417 at 11 July 2025. No significant gaps or sudden accumulation emerge; yearly increments remain between 7,000 and 11,500 miles. Previous keepers evidently operated the van on routine mileage without extended dormant periods. Given the clean certificate record, the buyer must still verify components subject to high-mileage degradation that passes may not flag as advisories. A physical inspection should assess suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for wear, and evaluate structural integrity for corrosion on chassis and sills. The tester recorded no minor consumable defects such as tyre tread or wiper blades, and no serious mechanical faults like binding calipers or exhaust emissions failures, yet at 190,417 miles these systems warrant hands-on checks. The absence of any recorded advisories across five tests suggests previous owners maintained statutory compliance, though it may reflect limited detailed scrutiny rather than flawless condition. Prospective purchasers should commission an independent assessment of drivetrain and gearbox operation before commitment.
