2013 Ford Transit 100 T260 FWD Heavy oil · SA13 YRU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in August 2025 at 130,446 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. Specifically, the failures in June 2025 and October 2023 were rectified before the subsequent re-tests, suggesting the previous owner responded to mechanical faults only when flagged by the tester rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 130,446 miles over 13 years, this Ford Transit averages approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with 7,700 miles covered between October 2022 and November 2023, and another 5,273 miles between November 2023 and June 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle has been operational rather than sitting idle for long periods, which generally helps keep seals lubricated. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension components and chassis structure, as these are common areas of failure on the T260 platform at this mileage. While the recent pass shows no active advisories, the recurring failures indicate that components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake lines may be nearing the service life. Check for signs of structural corrosion on the frame members and the mounting points to ensure that the clean record does not mask underlying rust degradation that could manifest under heavy loads.
