Foden Unknown (1991)
1991 Foden Unknown
CarHunch is tracking 442 1991 Foden Unknown vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
Every single one of the 442 Fodens in this dataset failed its MOT on first attempt—a stark 0% pass rate against the UK average of 80%. This isn't a reliability issue; it's almost certainly a data anomaly, since these are heavy commercial vehicles from 1991 that would be permanently off the road if genuinely non-functional.
The zero failures and advisories recorded, combined with the median Carhunch score of 50, suggests the MOT records for this cohort are incomplete or misclassified rather than reflective of actual vehicle condition. If you're considering a 1991 Foden, treat official MOT records with caution and rely instead on the vehicle's service history and a professional pre-purchase inspection by someone familiar with commercial trucks.
We have 442 1991 Foden Unknown vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1991 Foden Unknown
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
