2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · NA13 RYP

The 2013 Ford Transit demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trajectory with its latest test clear of defects. On 31 December 2024 at 143,772 miles the vehicle passed after an initial failure logged the same day at matching mileage, both entries showing no defects recorded. Prior to that, the same duplicated fail-and-pass pattern occurred on 19 January 2024 at 138,327 miles, and the January 2023 test at 133,018 miles passed cleanly. The maintenance record reveals no escalating faults, advisories, or structural concerns across the three-year span. Mileage progression sits below the norm for a commercial vehicle of this age. The van recorded 133,018 miles in January 2023, rose to 138,327 miles by January 2024, then reached 143,772 miles by December 2024. That equates to roughly 5,300 miles covered in each intervening period, against a typical annual expectation near 11,000 miles. The suppressed accumulation hints at lighter duty cycles or prolonged storage, though the sparse test history leaves little insight into intermediate care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical systems despite the clean MOT ledger. The absence of recorded advisories does not preclude age-related degradation in suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear undetected during the automated test. Examine subframe and bodywork for corrosion, verify exhaust emissions under load, and confirm the front calipers operate without binding. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass entries warrant a DVSA certificate check to establish whether a non-mechanical technicality triggered the failures.
