2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CU13 AVZ

The 2026‑01‑22 MOT at 86,824 miles resulted in a pass, but the record shows persistent brake disc wear, pitting and scoring, corroded brake pipes, and heavy surface corrosion of the front chassis rails, indicating a maintenance trend that is neither improving nor stabilising; the 2024‑01‑18 failure and subsequent repairs demonstrate recurring issues rather than resolution. Mileage has risen steadily from 24,993 miles in February 2016 to 86,824 miles by January 2026, averaging about 6,679 miles per year; the most rapid accumulation occurred between January 2024 (80,555 miles) and January 2026 (86,824 miles), a gain of 6,269 miles in two years, while earlier periods showed more modest growth. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pipes for corrosion, pitting or binding, verify the integrity of the suspension bushes and rear ball joint, examine the front chassis rails and surrounding structure for heavy surface rust, and check the exhaust system and structural components for any signs of compromised integrity. Given the recurring nature of these defects, a thorough in‑person assessment of brake performance, suspension play, and rust severity is essential before purchase, as the MOT history suggests that while the vehicle remains legally roadworthy, significant wear and corrosion are ongoing.
