2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CU63 DVY

The 2013 Ford Transit presents a highly stable and sound mechanical condition, evidenced by a flawless MOT record spanning at least four years. The most recent examination on 1 July 2025 at 40,171 miles passed without a single defect, mirroring the entirely clean tests recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024. This unbroken string of zero-advisory passes indicates a vehicle consistently maintained to a high standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues emerging over time. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, showing no signs of deterioration or neglect. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 3,090 miles annually. Between 14 July 2022 and 15 July 2023, the van covered just 1,429 miles, followed by a mere 671 miles over the subsequent twelve months. The yearly increments have since stabilized around 730 miles per annum. Such minimal usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which introduces its own set of considerations despite the lack of mechanical wear typically associated with high mileage. The recorded mileage barely moved between the failed and passed tests on 1 July 2025, differing by only a single mile, likely indicating an aborted initial test or a procedural anomaly rather than actual road use. Despite the pristine MOT history, the extremely low mileage and prolonged stationary periods warrant a focused physical inspection. Buyers should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and flat-spotting, as rubber perishes from standing just as readily as from friction. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts require scrutiny for perishing, while brake discs and calipers must be checked for surface corrosion that can cause binding or juddering after sitting idle. Underneath the vehicle, inspect the chassis and structural mounting points for corrosion, as moisture accumulation during long stationary spells can compromise structural integrity even on a well-maintained van.
