2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · SH13 AAX

The 2025 MOT failure on 2025-07-17 highlights recurring brake disc wear and tyre issues. Both front brake discs were reported as "worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened," and front tyres were near the legal tread limit. These same brake disc issues appeared in the 2025 MOT pass on the same date, suggesting unresolved or ongoing wear. The tyre problems align with earlier 2022 and 2023 entries, indicating persistent maintenance concerns. The vehicle’s 92,912-mile record over 13 years equates to roughly 7,147 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This mileage suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear, but the repeated brake and tyre issues imply potential neglect or accelerated deterioration. The 2024 MOT noted a slight play in the nearside front wheel bearing, a minor defect that could indicate early bearing wear. The trend shows stability in critical safety issues, with no new major defects in the latest MOT. However, the persistence of brake disc and tyre faults over multiple years raises concerns about long-term reliability. While the vehicle has not failed on more severe issues, the recurring nature of these problems suggests a need for proactive maintenance.
