Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
Given the high mileage of over 157,000 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history, which cannot be verified through MOT records alone. You should ask for evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt replacements, as these are critical for the 2.2L diesel engine.
When negotiating, consider the recent MOT failures. The 2024 test noted both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and an anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover was severely deteriorated. Check if these specific items were replaced or if they remain as advisories, as they indicate immediate or upcoming maintenance costs.
As a 2.2L diesel van, running costs will be dictated by payload and usage. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized Transit, though high mileage can impact efficiency if maintenance is deferred.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 Transit vary depending on the specific load rating and security features, but you should budget for commercial insurance rates. Maintenance costs for this model can fluctuate; while parts are widely available, the high mileage on this specific vehicle increases the likelihood of needing repairs to suspension, brakes, and cooling systems.
Pay close attention to the tyres and suspension. The 2024 MOT recorded both nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and on the inner edges, which can indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension components. The failure of the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover in 2024 is another specific area to inspect for play or noise.
Additionally, check all exterior lighting. The registration plate lamp has been flagged as inoperative in both 2023 and 2024, and a missing centre brake light was noted in 2022. Ensure all bulbs and electrical connections are fully functional to avoid immediate MOT issues.
This 2013 Ford Transit, finished in white, has covered 157,302 miles as of its last MOT in September 2024. This mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,947 miles per year, which is expected for a commercial vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows a mix of passes and failures, with recent issues involving tyre wear and suspension components.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 74.4%, with common failure points including headlamps, corrosion, and tyres.
