2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LG63 WCW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on April 15, 2026 at 200,760 miles resulted in a failure due to a missing road wheel fixing, an inoperative horn, and insufficient rear inner brake pads. While the vehicle passed shortly after these repairs, the presence of multiple safety-critical failures including a missing wheel bolt suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they are imminent to cause an MOT failure. At 200,760 miles, this 13-year-old Transit has covered a significant distance, averaging over 15,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent high-mileage usage, with 8,627 miles covered between August 2023 and February 2025, and another 6,093 miles logged between February 2025 and April 2026. This rate of accumulation places heavy demand on the drivetrain and chassis components, which is reflected in the recurring reports of brake wear and suspension degradation across the recorded years. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, as the record shows a persistent history of worn arm bushes, deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint covers, and play in the Macpherson strut ball joints dating back as far as 2022. The braking system also remains a point of concern; pitted and scored discs on both the front and rear axles were flagged in 2022, 2025, and 2026. The recurring mention of thin pads and worn discs indicates that the braking hardware is nearing the end of its effective life and likely requires a comprehensive overhaul to ensure safety.
