2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LD13 EEF

The vehicle maintains a strong roadworthiness profile, evidenced by three consecutive clean passes between July 2022 and July 2024. This record indicates a stable and well-maintained condition, as the absence of advisories during the most recent test at 119,041 miles suggests that the owner has proactively addressed mechanical needs before the annual inspection. The current MOT certificate remains valid until July 2025, providing a clear window of compliance for the immediate future. The recorded mileage of 119,041 over a thirteen-year lifespan averages approximately 9,157 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this type. The consistency in the mileage accumulation between 2022 and 2024 confirms that the van has seen regular, moderate use rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which often leads to seized components or perished seals. This steady operational history is preferable to erratic mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as Ford Transits of this vintage are prone to corrosion in these areas despite the recent clean MOT results. Inspect the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for signs of fatigue or recent replacement, as these components endure significant stress under load. While the brake system has passed recent inspections without issue, verify the condition of the discs and pads for uneven wear patterns that might indicate binding calipers. A thorough look underneath the vehicle for any signs of oil leaks around the engine block and gearbox will complete the assessment of this otherwise well-maintained commercial unit.
