Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2019 Ford Chausson?

Moderate sample. 306 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2019 Ford Chausson is a genuinely reliable proposition, with a 93.1% first-time MOT pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, and a dangerous defect rate of just 2.0% suggests these vehicles are safe bets. The low failure count of 0.38 per vehicle underscores that serious problems are rare.

At just under 15,000 km on average, these are lightly-used vehicles for their age, which explains the strong pass performance and the modest advisory rate of 1.2 per car. If you're considering one, pull the full MOT history to check what those advisories actually are—but the numbers suggest routine maintenance rather than structural gremlins.

The 2019 Ford Chausson passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (93.1% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
