2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · EU13 WNM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean mechanical record despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent inspection on 28 August 2025 at 155,450 miles passed with no defects, following a failure just five days prior at the virtually same mileage. This pattern suggests a minor, easily rectifiable compliance issue, such as a blown-out bulb or a minor sensor fault, which was addressed immediately rather than a sign of deep-seated mechanical degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year over its 13-year lifespan. The data shows a gap of 15,916 miles between November 2023 and December 2024, followed by another 10,967 miles covered between December 2024 and August 2025. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and preventing the dry-rot or corrosion-related issues often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and heavy suspension components common to the Ford Transit at this mileage. While the MOT record shows no current advisories, the 155,000-mile mark necessitates a close check of the coil springs, control arm bushes, and the condition of the chassis mounts for corrosion. Given the failures in 2023 and 2025, verify that brake lines are free of excessive scaling and ensure no recurring fluid leaks or binding issues exist that might have triggered the previous non-compliance reports.
