Ford Transit MOT pass rate 79.9% at 5–10 years — should you risk a used van?

Among Ford’s top four models by MOT volume, the Transit records 2,699,963 tests with a 79.9% pass rate — the lowest of the group.

Commercial use, mileage, and load all stress different components than a family hatch. Wear-and-tear defects make up a large share of the failure mix.

If you are buying a used Transit, age-band pass rate is a useful sanity check before you rely on one van’s latest pass alone.
