2013 Ford Transit 100 T280 FWD 2.2L Diesel · M7 GOX

This 2013 Ford Transit 100 T280 FWD presents a clean MOT record with no defects recorded across all five documented tests. The most recent test on 13 June 2025 at 180,671 miles passed with zero advisories or failures, and the maintenance trend appears stable and consistently well-maintained. The sole failure on 1 April 2023 at 172,353 miles shows no recorded defects, suggesting the failure may have been an administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. Overall, the vehicle has demonstrated reliable roadworthiness across nearly seven years of documented testing. The mileage accumulation tells an interesting story. Between 13 June 2025 and 7 August 2024, the vehicle covered just 4,894 miles in roughly ten months, indicating a significant drop in usage during that period. Prior to that, the vehicle averaged roughly 9,000 miles per year between March 2022 and August 2024, and around 8,600 miles annually between September 2019 and March 2022. The current recorded mileage of 180,671 miles is unchanged from the June 2025 test, meaning the vehicle has effectively stood still for over a year. This prolonged inactivity raises its own concerns despite the clean MOT status. A stationary vehicle of this age and mileage warrants careful inspection of components that deteriorate through disuse rather than use. Brake discs and calipers are prone to surface corrosion and seizure when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Tyres may show flat-spotting or sidewall perishing from prolonged load bearing in one position. Suspension bushes and coil springs can degrade from static compression. The fuel system should be checked for stale fuel or condensation, and fluid levels and condition should be verified thoroughly. Beyond the effects of standing, the high lifetime mileage of 180,671 miles on a light commercial vehicle means drivetrain, clutch, gearbox, and steering components have endured significant use. A prospective buyer should test-drive the vehicle under load, listen for drivetrain vibrations, and inspect the chassis and load floor for structural corrosion or cracking. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but the combination of high mileage and a year of inactivity means hands-on inspection remains essential before purchase.
