2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · TT61 BBO

The 2026-03-23 MOT at 106,690 miles passed with no defects, confirming a stable maintenance trend despite earlier failures. The 2025-03-11 and 2024-03-11 tests also recorded passes, showing consistent compliance. Mileage has risen from 92,589 miles at the 2023-02-28 failure to 106,690 miles in the 2026-03-23 test, an increase of 14,101 miles over three years, or roughly 4,700 miles per year, which aligns with the typical 8,207 miles per year for a 13‑year‑old Transit. The interval between the 2023-03-10 and 2024-03-11 tests was a full year, and the 2024-03-11 to 2025-03-11 interval was also twelve months, indicating regular annual testing with no unexplained mileage spikes. Recurring faults include split or insecure constant‑velocity boots on both front drive shafts (6.1.7 (g) (ii)) and excessive play in the offside rear wheel bearing (5.1.3 (a) (i)), suggesting suspension and drivetrain wear that should be examined closely. Front brake discs show wear but are not excessive, while pads are thin, and the offside front brake pipe is corroded and covered in grease, pointing to potential structural rust and hydraulic issues. The central stop lamp failure (4.3.1 (a) (ii)) on two occasions indicates a persistent lighting defect. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the CV boots, wheel bearings, brake disc and pad thickness, the integrity of the front brake and power‑steering pipes for corrosion, and verify that the stop lamp functions correctly, as these items represent the most significant mechanical and structural concerns documented in the record.
