Ford Chausson (2020)
2020 Ford Chausson
CarHunch analysed 165 real MOT records for the 2020 Ford Chausson. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Ford Chausson is a genuinely reliable proposition, with a 93.1% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%. Dangerous defects are virtually non-existent at just 0.6% of vehicles, so safety concerns are minimal for this cohort.
These Chaussons average only around 12,000 miles at test time, which is low for their age and suggests they're lightly used vehicles—likely motorhomes or vans with predictable ownership patterns. With just 0.28 failures and 0.3 advisories per vehicle on average, they're straightforward to maintain, so when buying one, focus your inspection on service history and any damp-related issues common to motorhomes rather than mechanical defects.
What to check before buying a 2020 Ford Chausson
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.
