2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · EY13 PBF

The 2026‑02‑04 MOT at 94,924 miles recorded a pass, yet the surrounding history shows a maintenance pattern that is neither uniformly improving nor deteriorating. The preceding 2026‑01‑19 test at 94,922 miles listed multiple failures, including inoperative lamps, a split CV joint boot, excessive anti‑roll bar ball joint wear, rear wheel bearing play, a snapped rear exhaust pipe and an inability to test brake performance. The recent pass suggests that the exhaust and wheel bearing were remedied, but advisories on suspension components, worn brake discs, tyres near the legal limit and structural corrosion remain, indicating the vehicle is not fully roadworthy. Mileage over the last six years shows a steady baseline of roughly 7,300 miles per year, but a sharp increase occurred between 2024‑12‑24 (87,095 miles) and 2026‑01‑19 (94,922 miles), adding nearly 8,000 miles in less than two years. The jump from 2023‑01‑06 (71,267 miles) to 2024‑12‑24 (87,095 miles) represents a 15,828‑mile surge, implying heavy use during that period. The minimal two‑mile rise for the 2026‑02‑04 test indicates that repairs were carried out with little additional distance. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension geometry, checking the off‑side front track‑rod end ball joint for play, the anti‑roll bar ball joint and its dust cover, and the condition of the suspension arm pins and bushes, all of which have been repeatedly flagged. The brake system demands close scrutiny of the front discs for pitting or scoring, the central and peripheral brake pipes for corrosion and grease contamination, and verification that brake performance can be tested without restriction. Structural rust on the chassis and central brake pipe, the previously broken rear exhaust pipe, tyre tread depth, wheel bearing play and the integrity of the coil spring (which fractured in 2024) should also be inspected before purchase.
