Our Verdict
This 2013 Ford Transit presents a relatively clean recent MOT history with four consecutive passes. However, buyers should carefully verify its working history and service background given its commercial nature.
When inspecting this 2013 Transit, thoroughly check the bodywork and underside, as corrosion is one of the top MOT failure reasons for this model nationally. Given its commercial classification, request a comprehensive service history to verify how regularly maintenance and oil changes were performed beyond the annual MOT tests.
Negotiate on price if there is any evidence of heavy load-area wear, previous panel damage, or upcoming replacement tyres, since tyres are another leading cause of MOT failures for Transits. Ensure all locks, doors, and electrical equipment function correctly during your viewing, as commercial vehicles often suffer from hard use.
Fuel economy for the 2.1-litre diesel engine will depend heavily on payload weight and driving style, but expect reasonable efficiency on longer runs. Insurance will fall under standard commercial vehicle groups, varying by your intended business or private use.
Routine maintenance costs are generally offset by wide parts availability for the Ford Transit in the UK. Budget for annual servicing, road tax, and wear-and-tear items such as brakes and suspension components.
Pay close attention to common Transit failure points identified in national data, specifically inspecting headlamp units for clarity and alignment, checking tyres for tread depth and uneven wear, and examining the chassis and sills for corrosion.
Review the 2022 MOT history where the vehicle initially failed on September 5th before passing on the same day, checking the original test notes if available to see what prompted the rectification. Confirm that all seatbelts, wipers, and braking systems operate smoothly and show no signs of neglect.
First registered in October 2013, this white Ford Transit with a 2198.0cc diesel engine has covered 109,636 miles as of its September 2025 test. The vehicle's recent MOT record is encouraging, showing zero defects recorded across passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025, alongside an initial fail-then-pass sequence in September 2022 at 97,365 miles. With a recorded mileage that aligns reasonably for a commercial vehicle of this age, it represents a standard used option in the UK van market.
The Ford Transit has an average national MOT pass rate of 74.4% across over 730,000 analysed vehicles, with headlamps, corrosion, and tyres appearing as the top failure reasons.
