2013 Ford 2.2L Diesel · SJ53 GSJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistently stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 12 May 2025 at 77,842 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean passes over the last five years indicates that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical failure or safety-related compliance issues. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between June 2021 and May 2025, the car covered 21,267 miles, showing a consistent usage pattern of roughly 5,300 miles annually. This low annual mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components compared to higher-average examples. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age can suffer from degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related issues, which are not always captured by a standard MOT inspection. While the digital record shows no recurring faults or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than distance. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and control arm bolts for perished rubber, as long periods of standing can cause material fatigue. The brake discs should be examined for surface pitting or corrosion, as infrequent use often leads to oxidation on the rotor surfaces. Checking the structural integrity of the sills and mounting points remains essential to ensure that hidden rust has not developed despite the clean test history.
