2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · DV63 EEP

The 2013 Ford Transit currently presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a pass on 1 December 2025 at 142,741 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle passed its prior test on 6 November 2024 at 133,222 miles, also without advisories or failures. Two entries in the record show a failure status with no defects listed, occurring on 25 November 2025 at 142,709 miles and 16 November 2023 at 128,613 miles. These entries typically indicate an aborted test, a refusal to test due to obvious issues preventing inspection, or an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Despite these anomalies, the overall trajectory shows a mechanically sound vehicle passing recent inspections cleanly. The recorded mileage of 142,741 miles over thirteen years equates to roughly 10,980 miles annually, a figure typical for a commercial van of this age. The mileage progression between tests reveals consistent usage. Between the November 2023 pass at 128,613 miles and the November 2024 pass at 133,222 miles, the van covered 4,609 miles. The subsequent year saw slightly higher utilization, accumulating 9,519 miles between the November 2024 test and the December 2025 pass. This steady accumulation suggests regular commercial or heavy domestic use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which aligns with the typical wear patterns expected on suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain components. Although the MOT record contains no flagged mechanical or structural defects, a pre-purchase inspection must focus on the high-wear areas typical of a Transit at this mileage. Buyers should scrutinize the structural integrity of the chassis and load floor for corrosion, a common affliction on older vans. Suspension components, including coil springs and trailing arm bushes, require close examination for deterioration. Brake calipers should be checked for binding, and the condition of the exhaust system must be verified to ensure emissions remain stable. Tyre condition and tread depth also warrant attention, as uneven wear could indicate underlying alignment or suspension geometry issues not captured by the sparse MOT data.
