2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YP63 LSY

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the 9 April 2026 MOT at 109,378 miles with no recorded defects. A single failure recorded on 2 April 2025 was remedied before the subsequent April 2025 pass, indicating an improving maintenance trend after a brief lapse. Mileage has risen from 94,095 miles in September 2021 to 109,378 miles in April 2026, averaging roughly 8,400 miles per year – a figure consistent with typical usage for a thirteen‑year‑old Transit. The progression shows a steady climb of about 9,000 miles between September 2021 and April 2024, then smaller increments of 3,500 miles to April 2025 and 2,900 miles to April 2026, with no prolonged periods of inactivity evident in the record. The MOT history flags several recurring components that merit close inspection. Reduced intensity on both nearside and offside rear stop lamps, together with diminished rear position lamp output, suggests possible ageing of lamp units or wiring corrosion; a visual check of the rear lighting cluster and connector integrity is advisable. The 2 April 2025 failure for a split nearside front outer drive‑shaft CV boot indicates a potential ingress point for dirt that could accelerate joint wear – the boot and joint should be examined for cracks, oil leaks, and any abnormal vibration. The exhaust emissions breach recorded on the same date warrants a review of the exhaust system, catalytic converter, and engine tuning to ensure the vehicle now complies with emission limits. Although no brake or suspension faults appear in the MOT entries, the mileage level and age justify a thorough assessment of brake discs, pads, suspension bushes, and coil springs for wear or fatigue. A buyer should therefore focus on confirming that the lighting faults have been corrected, that the CV boot is intact, and that the exhaust system now meets standards, while also conducting a standard wear check on brakes, suspension, and structural rust before finalising purchase.
