2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · PX63 NFY

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical wear and component degradation. While it passed its latest test in October 2025 at 123,896 miles, the record identifies multiple new faults that were not present in previous years. The progression from worn suspension arm ball joint dust covers to actual play in the offside front joint indicates that the front suspension geometry is reaching the end of its functional life and requires immediate attention to prevent a future MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the 2021 test at 84,393 miles and the 2022 test at 102,696 miles, representing a 18,303-mile annual interval. This steady usage suggests a regular operating pattern, though the increasing frequency of non-critical defects in the last three tests indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase where wear-and-tear components require more than just basic preventative maintenance. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly. The recurring reports of worn pins, bushes, and deteriorating ball joints from 2023 through 2025 suggest the entire front end is suffering from cumulative fatigue. Furthermore, the presence of a corroded oil sump and a persistent minor oil leak, combined with corroded rear brake pipes noted in 2025, points to advancing environmental corrosion on the chassis and fluid lines. The grease covering the brake pipe is a specific concern as it often hides deep-seated rust, necessitating a manual cleaning to ensure the structural integrity of the braking system.
