DA11 TAP MOT History
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 (DA11 TAP) between November 2023 and March 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 16 March 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: Lighting (9 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 10 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: “Nearside Front Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”; “Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”.

Our Verdict
A solid option for those needing a workhorse, provided the recent MOT failures are clarified. The vehicle shows a consistent testing pattern with no recorded defects in its most recent pass.
When inspecting this Transit, ask the seller for clarification regarding the MOT failures in March 2025 and March 2026. Although the records show 'no defects recorded' at the point of the pass, the fact that a failure occurred immediately prior to the pass suggests there were issues that required rectification.
Check the service history specifically for oil changes and fuel filter replacements, which are critical for the 2198cc diesel engine. Given the mileage is well above the annual average, ensure the timing belt and water pump have been addressed according to Ford's recommended intervals for this specific engine variant.
As a 2.2L diesel, running costs will be dictated by payload and usage. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized van, though heavy loads will increase this. Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 Transit vary depending on the specific payload rating and driver profile.
Maintenance costs for this model can be variable; while parts are widely available, high-mileage diesel engines often require attention to turbochargers and fuel systems. Budget for more frequent tyre replacements, as tyres are a top failure reason for this model aggregate.
Focus your inspection on the areas identified in the aggregate data for this model: check the headlamps for clarity and function, inspect the chassis and bodywork thoroughly for signs of corrosion, and check all tyres for tread depth and sidewall damage.
Because this vehicle has reached 118,903 miles, also inspect the suspension components and brake wear. Although the most recent MOT pass had no defects, the history of failures suggests that mechanical or safety components have required attention in the recent past.
This 2013 Ford Transit features a 2.2L diesel engine and has covered 118,903 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,935 per year, the recent MOT history shows a pattern of passing after initial failures. The vehicle is finished in grey and has a documented history of five MOT tests since 2023.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with common failures related to headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
