2013 Ford Transit Connect 1.8L Diesel · CV13 SFJ

The 2013 Ford Transit Connect presents a current roadworthy status following a pass on 16 December 2025 at 137,234 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable in mechanical terms, though the record shows a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by rapid retests with no faults listed, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at test rather than worsening vehicle condition. Recorded mileage sits at 137,234 against a 13-year life, equating to roughly 10,556 miles per year and reflecting typical usage for a light commercial vehicle. The data shows a notable plateau between 11 September 2023 at 132,117 miles and 13 December 2024 at 132,189 miles, where only 72 miles accrued over fifteen months, implying the van stood idle or saw minimal service in that window. From December 2024 to December 2025 the odometer advanced about 5,045 miles, a return to ordinary annual accumulation. The December 2024 and December 2025 failures carry no recorded defects, with passes issued days later at near-identical mileages; this points to omitted failure reasons in the data rather than resolved mechanical faults. A buyer should physically verify suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding, and inspect chassis and sills for corrosion given the vehicle's age and the long low-use period that can accelerate structural rust. Given the clean advisory list on the passing tests, no consumable wear such as tyres or wiper blades was flagged. The sparse record offers limited insight into ongoing upkeep, so a pre-purchase inspection of drivetrain and exhaust emissions remains prudent before commitment.
