2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · OP13 ALF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 138,080 miles shows a pass following a failure related to lighting, seat belt damage, and brake components. While the immediate safety failures were rectified, the recurring nature of the brake disc wear and suspension issues suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they reach the point of MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 13-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. Between October 2024 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 4,807 miles, which is a significant drop in usage compared to the previous year where 7,352 miles were recorded between 2023 and 2024. This fluctuating usage is not concerning, but the total mileage reflects the expected wear on the heavy-duty components of a high-age Ford Transit. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a history of worn anti-roll bar linkages, suspension arm bushes, and wheel bearings. The 2025 advisory specifically flagged a corroded offside front brake pipe covered in grease, which requires physical verification to ensure the corrosion has not compromised the structural integrity of the hydraulic line. The brake discs have been noted as worn across the last three tests, indicating that the braking system is nearing the end of its service life and should be monitored closely. Final attention should be paid to the offside front seat belt webbing, which was flagged as being frayed or damaged in the most recent test. Given the frequent failures for inoperative bulbs and indicators over the years, the electrical一对 should be checked for corrosion. The vehicle appears to be a typical workhorse that is maintained to the minimum legal standard required to remain on the road.
