2013 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YT63 RHV

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 November 2024 at 149,064 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2023 and 2024. This suggests that the previous owner was reactive, addressing specific faults only after they were flagged by the tester rather than performing preventative maintenance ahead of the annual inspection. At 149,064 miles over 13 years, this Transit has averaged approximately 11,466 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with 10,116 miles covered between December 2022 and November 2023, and another 11,529 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024. This regular interval indicates the vehicle has been used consistently rather than left to sit, which generally benefits the engine seals and mechanical components. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the recurring failures at high mileage intervals necessitate a thorough physical inspection of the heavy-wear components. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and lateral link arms, as these are common failure points on Transits of this mileage. Given the age and usage, a close look at the chassis structural integrity and door sills is essential to ensure that significant corrosion is not developing beyond what a standard MOT might overlook. The braking system should also be checked for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as the high mileage puts significant thermal stresses on the braking hardware.
