2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · LM63 BCY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a stable but reactive maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 104,636 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same day. This pattern suggests that the previous owner is willing to rectify immediate MOT failures to maintain compliance, though the lack of advisories across the last three passes indicates that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum legal standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 13-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 97,741 miles and March 2025 at 102,265 miles, the Transit covered 4,524 miles, followed by another 2,371 miles leading into the February 2026 test. This relatively low annual usage suggests light-duty application, which typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and rubber-based suspension components compared to high-mileage vans. While the record shows a clean pass recently, the repeated failures immediately followed by passes in 2025 and 2026 warrant a close physical inspection of the areas that previously failed. A buyer should inspect the chassis for developing structural corrosion, particularly on the rear members and mounting points, as these are common failure points for this generation of Transit. Given the age, checking the condition of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and brake lines is essential, as these components often degrade without triggering a formal MOT advisory until they reach a critical state.
