2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · CX13 CXD

The 2013 Ford Transit presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 1 July 2025 at 144,663 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The latest pass came on the same day as a failure logged at identical mileage with no defects recorded, mirroring a prior pattern from June 2024 where a failure at 135,957 miles preceded a pass at 135,965 miles nine days later. Such paired fail-pass entries with zero defects listed suggest administrative or presentation anomalies at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or defects appear anywhere in the three-year span reviewed. The van has covered 144,663 miles over roughly thirteen years, equating to about 11,128 miles per year and sitting within typical usage for a Transit of this age. Mileage moved from 129,529 at the April 2023 pass to 135,957 by the June 2024 failure, then to 144,663 by July 2025, showing steady annual accumulation near the long-term average with no sudden jumps. The record is sparse but clean, offering no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs across the logged tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points given the vehicle's age and light commercial duty cycle, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of developing rust on chassis rails or sills. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical measurement despite no tester flags, since the 135,957 to 135,965 mile gap implies a quick retest rather than workshop intervention. The duplicated failure entries at 144,663 and 135,957 miles with no defects recorded merit a DVSA data check to rule out clerical error before purchase.
