2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YR13 OVH

The 2013 Ford Transit remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2026-05-06, passing with a minor issue concerning front sub-frame corrosion that does not compromise structural integrity. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no major failures or recurring critical defects in the past year. However, the pattern of minor but persistent corrosion and wear suggests ongoing exposure to damp conditions and a need for vigilant monitoring of structural components. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 7,238 miles per year over its 13-year life, a rate consistent with average commercial or mixed-use vehicles. Mileage has increased steadily, with no significant gaps or sudden spikes in testing frequency. The MOT history is comprehensive from 2023 onward, providing a clear picture of gradual deterioration in areas such as suspension, brake systems, and bodywork corrosion, particularly around the outer sills and brake pipes. Buyers should conduct a thorough visual and physical inspection of the front sub-frame, rear suspension bushes, and shock absorbers, as these components have shown signs of wear and corrosion. Pay close attention to the brake system, including calipers and discs, as binding issues were flagged in previous tests. The recurring corrosion on brake pipes and outer sills—though not currently affecting safety—indicates a need for regular checks to prevent progression into structural weakness. Additionally, inspect the seat belt anchorage points for any signs of weakening due to underlying corrosion.
