2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · MV63 BVP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding front suspension and drivetrain protection. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 136,664 miles passed, it returned multiple advisories for deteriorated CV boots and worn suspension arm bushes. These issues represent a progression from the 2024 test, where the drive shaft CV boots were flagged as severely deteriorated, indicating that the rubber components and bushings are reaching the end of their functional life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation of roughly 7,000 miles between recent annual tests, such as the 10,461-mile gap between June 2023 and June 2024, followed by a 7,246-mile increase between June 2024 and June 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle is used actively rather than sitting idle, which explains the consistent wear on mechanical joints and braking components noted throughout the record. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain. The recurring reports of worn suspension arm bushes and deteriorating CV boots suggest a high risk of imminent failure or grease leakage leading to drive joint damage if not addressed immediately. Furthermore, the braking system shows a history of neglected preventative maintenance, with thin pads and pitted discs flagged in 2024. A physical inspection should verify the current thickness of the rear brake pads and check for excessive corrosion on the calipers, as the record indicates the owner only addresses these components once they approach failure threshold.
