Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2013 Ford Transit passed its most recent MOT on 22 January 2026 at 98,294 miles, but the underlying maintenance trend is worsening rather than stable. Two days earlier, on 20 January 2026 at 98,286 miles, the vehicle failed on an excessively corroded Offside Front brake pipe, worn anti-roll bar ball joint, non-functioning rear fog lamp, missing rear exhaust tail pipe, and an active stability control fault. The pass was granted only after those defects were addressed, yet three brake pipes remain corroded and merely coated in grease. This pattern signals deferred mechanical care. Recorded mileage sits at 98,294 against a 13-year lifespan, averaging a modest 7,561 miles per year. The gap between the 13 January 2024 test at 92,384 miles and the 22 January 2025 pass at 96,979 miles shows light annual use of around 4,600 miles. From January 2025 to January 2026 the van covered just 1,315 miles. Low recent mileage combined with exposed tyre cords in 2024 and repeated brake pipe corrosion suggests the van spent periods idle, then returned to service without thorough pre-test preparation by the prior owner. A buyer should physically inspect all four brake pipes for structural rust, not just surface scaling, since the tester flagged three as corroded and one as excessively corroded within the last six months. The Offside Front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint was excessively worn in January 2026 after showing slight play in 2024; examine the suspension bushes and opposite linkage for matching wear. Confirm the electronic stability control warning lamp is extinguished and the rear exhaust is fully fitted. Front brake discs scored in 2024 and the Nearside Front wheel bearing noise noted that same January should be rechecked for progression. The 2024 failure on a Nearside Rear tyre with exposed ply indicates the previous owner skipped basic tyre inspection. Verify current tyre condition, fog lamp operation, and request evidence of the January 2026 brake pipe and suspension repairs before purchase.

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2013 Ford Transit (CU13 AWV) between January 2024 and January 2026.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 22 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (11 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 15 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear fog lamp not working (4.5.1 (a) (ii))”.

Our Verdict

Avoid this vehicle unless a specialist inspection confirms all issues are resolved. Repeated brake pipe corrosion and suspension faults suggest potential safety risks and high repair costs.

Inspect the brake pipes for ongoing corrosion and check if the exhaust system has been repaired. Verify service records to confirm anti-roll bar joint replacements and wheel bearing repairs were completed. Negotiate heavily given the failure history - ideally seek a discount of 20-30% of the market value. Be wary of 'repaired' faults without documented evidence. This vehicle requires a specialist diesel mechanic's assessment before purchase.

Diesel fuel economy for the 2.2L engine averages 35-40 mpg. Tax would place it in Band T (£2,500 first year, £1,250 annual after 2017). Insurance group 15-18 would cost £1,000-£1,500 annually. Major repairs (brake pipes, exhaust, suspension) could exceed £1,000. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500 excluding depreciation.

Thoroughly check all brake pipes for corrosion, especially near wheel arches and suspension components. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks or damage. Test the electronic stability control system and check for oil leaks around the engine. Examine the anti-roll bar joints for wear and ensure tyres have no structural damage. Verify that all MOT failure items from 2024-2026 have been properly repaired.

This 2013 Ford Transit has accumulated 98,294 miles with a MOT history showing recurring brake system corrosion, suspension wear, and a missing exhaust tail pipe. While it passed its most recent test, three failures in 2024-2026 highlight persistent mechanical concerns. The high mileage (23% above average for its age) exacerbates these risks.

While Ford Transit models generally offer good reliability, this specific vehicle shows atypical failure patterns requiring closer scrutiny.
