2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FT13 NWB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean record of passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 1 August 2025 at 30,285 miles returned no defects or advisories. This consistency indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has been kept in a compliant state without the mechanical degradation or structural failure typically seen in vans of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old Ford Transit, averaging approximately 2,330 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2025, the vehicle covered only 10,279 miles, showing a consistent usage rate of roughly 2,500 miles annually. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests imply the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid de-stabilization. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on the risks associated with low-mileage long storage. A buyer should specifically check for sidewall cracking on tyres and perished wipers, as these suffer from age regardless of tread depth. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural integrity is required to identify hidden corrosion, particularly where moisture accumulates during long stationary periods. The brakes should also be tested for binding calipers or corroded discs, which frequently occur when a vehicle is not used frequently enough to clear the surface rust.
