Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Focus your attention on the chassis and underside. The MOT history explicitly records corrosion on the outer sills and front wheel arches across three consecutive years (2024, 2025, and 2026), which requires a thorough physical inspection to ensure it is superficial and not structural. You should also request evidence of the timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items for the 2.2L diesel engine.
Use the extensive list of advisories from the June 2026 test as a negotiation tool. The vehicle was flagged for worn brake discs, deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage dust covers, and worn suspension arm bushes. Addressing these items will be necessary to maintain the vehicle's roadworthiness and safety.
The 2.2L diesel engine is designed for commercial efficiency, but costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age and current wear. Insurance groups for the Transit vary by body style, and diesel tax bands for 2013 models are standard for the era.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher in the short term given the recorded wear on the braking system and front-end suspension. Budget for the replacement of bushings, dust covers, and brake discs as indicated by the MOT history.
Prioritise an inspection of the front wheel arches and the front end of the outer sills and door steps, where corrosion has been repeatedly noted in the MOT history. Check for any signs of welding or makeshift repairs in these areas.
Specifically examine the front suspension components. The June 2026 MOT highlighted worn anti-roll bar pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside, as well as severely deteriorated dust covers on the anti-roll bar linkages and a damaged track rod end cover. Finally, check the thickness of the brake discs, which were noted as worn in both 2024 and 2026.
This white 2013 Ford Transit has covered 120,823 miles. MOT records indicate a persistent issue with corrosion on the outer sills and wheel arches since 2024, alongside a significant increase in suspension and steering wear noted in June 2026. It presents as a typical high-use commercial vehicle of this age with expected wear and tear.
With an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, this model is generally robust, though aggregate data confirms that corrosion and tyre issues are common failure points.
