2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LD13 MMO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history indicates a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. While the most recent test in April 2023 at 116,309 miles passed, it followed a failure just one day prior that revealed significant mechanical and lighting defects. The trend shows that the owner only addresses faults when they prevent an MOT pass, as evidenced by the recurring nature of minor electrical and body issues across the 2022 and 2023 inspections. The mileage profile is consistent with a thirteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 15,839 miles between the April 2021 test at 87,137 miles and the March 2022 test at 102,976 miles. Following this, the vehicle covered another 13,333 miles in the year leading up to the April 2023 test. This steady usage suggests the vehicle remains in regular service, which puts predictable wear on rubber components and suspension bushings but avoids the risks of corrosion associated with long periods of stationary. A buyer must closely inspect the front-end suspension due to the 2023 failure which flagged an offside front track rod end with excessive play and a split nearside inner drive shaft CV boot. While these were repaired to secure the pass, the buyer should check for grease leakage around the CV joints and any play in the steering linkage. The 2022 advisory regarding rear tyres worn to the legal limit suggests a potential alignment issue or overloading history that should be verified to prevent premature tyre wear. The record shows recurring issues with mirror damage and registration plate lighting, which are minor cosmetic faults but indicate a lack of attention to detail. Since the last MOT was conducted over three years ago as of June 2026, the vehicle is currently overdue for a test. A thorough physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the state of the braking system, as the records do not provide recent data on brake thickness or under corrosion.
