2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · VX13 VWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on March 20 2026 at 94,899 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent history indicates a specific mechanical failure. A failure just one day prior at 94,894 miles revealed a fractured offside rear leaf spring, but the fact that this was rectified immediately suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing safety-critical structural defects to maintain legal road use. The mileage profile is consistent with a thirteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per annum. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the Transit covered 17,918 miles, showing steady and predictable usage patterns rather than long periods of neglect or excessive heavy-duty cycles. This low mileage generally limits the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the age of the vehicle still increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid corrosion regardless of the odometer reading. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension to ensure the replacement leaf spring has not caused stress to adjacent components. The March 2025 test at 84,066 miles flagged pitted and scored brake discs on both axles, and while these passed the subsequent test, the surface condition of the rotors and the state of the calipers should be verified for uneven wear. Given the vehicle's age, check the chassis for structural corrosion around the mounting points and exhaust heat members, as these are common failure points on this model that do not always surface until they become significant. Inspect the suspension bushes for signs of tearing or cracking which could cause the uneven loading leading to the recent leaf spring fracture.
