2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CU63 YOC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward developing component wear. The most recent test in January 2026 at 97,095 miles identified a defect regarding play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates that the suspension components are now reaching the end of their optimal life after a period of clean records in the previous years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between December 2022 at 84,845 miles and January 2024 at 94,188 miles, during which the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles. However, the usage pattern slowed significantly after 2024, with only 3,000 miles recorded over the following year, which explains the intermittent brake failure and subsequent wear on the mechanical components. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry to check if the anti-roll bar play has spread to the offside side. The failure in January 2024 due to rear brake pads being below 1.5mm suggests that the previous owner operated the vehicle until critical limits, so a thorough check of the remaining pad thickness and caliper condition is necessary to ensure they have not been seized or neglected. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is also vital, as the MOT record does not highlight rust issues in the recent tests.
