2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · HF13 WKY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred mechanical repairs and developing structural degradation. The most recent test in January 2026 at 162,882 miles shows a pass despite several defects including a failed high-level stop lamp and cloudy headlamps. While the vehicle passes the test, the presence of a smooth brake pedal and surface corrosion on both rear discs suggests that critical braking components are reaching the end of their effective life without proactive replacement. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year over its 13-year life. In the last two years alone, the vehicle covered 12,827 miles, moving from 150,055 miles in January 2024 to 162,882 miles in January 2026. This steady accumulation is typical for a commercial work vehicle but places significant linear stress on the drivetrain and suspension compared to lower mileage use. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the offside outer sill which has been flagged for corrosion in both 2023 and 2026. The recurring failure of drive shaft CV boots, noted as severely deteriorated in 2023 and 2024, indicates that rubber components are being neglected, which will eventually lead to expensive joint failure. Furthermore, the worn anti-roll bar bushes identified in 2023 suggest the front suspension geometry is beginning to degrade, requiring a thorough check for play in the steering and suspension components during a test drive.
