Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Ford Chausson?

This 2022 Ford Chausson is exceptionally reliable, with a 95.3% first-time MOT pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—and remarkably, none of the 149 vehicles analysed have ever recorded a dangerous defect. The near-perfect safety record combined with negligible failure rates (0.09 per vehicle) makes this a strong performer for buyers prioritising dependability.

These vehicles are running genuinely low mileage for their age, averaging just 10,621 miles, which explains both the high pass rate and the zero advisory notes recorded across the entire cohort. If you're considering one, get a full service history to confirm this apparent low-use pattern, as such lightly driven vehicles can sometimes reveal unexpected issues once properly exercised.
