2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · PX63 RKA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. In the most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 116,699 miles, the vehicle passed after an initial failure involving multiple electrical defects, including failed indicators, reversing lamps, and stop lamps. While these issues were rectified, the appearance of leaf spring bushing wear during the same test indicates that the owner is only addressing faults once they necessitate an MOT pass. The mileage pattern is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age and type, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The record shows steady growth from 31,393 miles in 2016 to 116,699 miles in late 2025. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of standing stationary, though the recent accumulation of nearly 9,000 miles between 2024 and 2025 aligns with the increased wear patterns observed on rubber and lighting components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the electrical system and the rear suspension. The recurring failures of marker lamps, position lamps, and indicator bulbs suggest a deteriorating wiring loom or poor bulb maintenance that requires attention. Furthermore, the noted wear in the nearside and offside rear leaf spring shackle pins and eye bushes in 2025 necessitates a close check for play or audible squeaking, which can lead to uneven handling under load. Given the previous report of a hub seal leak in 2019, the rear wheel assemblies should also be inspected for signs of residual fluid seepage or excessive corrosion.
