Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's MOT status shows an improving trend following a period of instability. The most recent test on 9 February 2024 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a sequence of three consecutive failures between 21 October 2023 and 19 January 2024. While the most recent result is clean, the cluster of failures in late 2023 and early 2024 indicates a period where the vehicle failed to meet minimum standards. The recorded mileage of 176,683 miles is high for a 2013 vehicle, averaging approximately 13,591 miles per year. This level of usage suggests significant wear on drivetrain components, suspension systems, and braking hardware. The MOT records provided do not show specific mileage increments for each individual test, making it impossible to determine the exact rate of accumulation between the 2022 pass and the 2024 failures. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle's underbody and mechanical components. Although the 2024 test reported no defects, the previous failures suggest that mechanical or structural issues were present during the 2023 period. Focus should be placed on checking for corrosion on the chassis, the condition of suspension bushes, and the integrity of the braking system. Given the high mileage, inspecting the exhaust system and engine components for leaks or excessive wear is also necessary. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.

Our Verdict

Exercise significant caution before purchasing this vehicle. The recent MOT history shows a pattern of frequent failures within a very short timeframe, suggesting potential underlying issues.

Given the high mileage and the cluster of MOT failures in late 2023 and early 2024, any prospective buyer should request a full service history to see if repairs were carried out following those failures. The fact that no specific defects were recorded in the provided data for those failures makes it difficult to assess the exact nature of the issues, so physical inspection is vital.

Negotiate the price downwards to account for the high mileage and the recent instability in its MOT record. Check for signs of heavy commercial use, particularly around the suspension and load area, as these vans are often used for intensive work. Ensure you verify the timing belt replacement interval, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 2198cc diesel engine.

As a 2.2L diesel, running costs will be driven primarily by fuel consumption and commercial insurance groups. Expect moderate fuel economy suitable for long-distance driving, but be mindful of potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges depending on the engine's emissions standard.

Maintenance costs for a Transit of this age and mileage are likely to be higher than average due to wear and tear on components like brakes, tyres, and suspension. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, would sit in the mid-range for a commercial vehicle of this size.

You should pay close attention to the areas identified in the aggregate data for this model, specifically checking for headlamp clarity, signs of corrosion on the chassis, and the condition of the tyres. Because the vehicle had three failures in a four-month window (Oct 2023 - Jan 2024), ask the seller exactly what caused those failures and if there is paperwork to prove they were rectified.

Inspect the underside of the vehicle for structural rust and check the suspension components for excessive play. Given the high mileage of 176,683, also inspect the turbocharger and fuel system for any signs of leaks or unusual noises during a test drive.

This 2013 Ford Transit (SD63AEP) is a 2.2L diesel van with 176,683 miles recorded at its last MOT in February 2024. The vehicle has covered significantly more than the model average of 8,935 miles per year. While the most recent test was a pass with no defects, the vehicle underwent three consecutive failures between October 2023 and January 2024.

Aggregate data from over 730,000 Ford Transits shows an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with common failure points being headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
