2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · PO13 ODY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of developing suspension-related wear. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 121,246 miles identified minor play in the front anti-roll bar components, the vehicle passed successfully. These issues persist from the September 2024 test at 112,514 miles, indicating that the front suspension hardware is reaching the end of its functional life and requires monitoring to prevent failure. At 13 years old, the Ford Transit has averaged approximately 9,300 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 8,700 miles covered between the September 2024 and October 2025 tests, and another 3,000 miles between late 2023 and 2024. This regular use suggests the vehicle is operated regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent premature degradation of rubber components. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the front suspension assembly, as the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and bushes have been flagged across multiple consecutive years. The tester noted thin front brake pads in 2024, so the current state of the friction material and discs must be verified physically. Additionally, the failure in 2023 due to multiple lighting faults including indicators and stop lamps suggests a lapse in basic bulb inspections, necessitating a thorough check of all exterior lighting and wiring to ensure no further electrical issues remain.
