Ford P100 Turbo Diesel (1991)
1991 Ford P100 Turbo Diesel
CarHunch is tracking 876 1991 Ford P100 Turbo Diesel vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
The 1991 Ford P100 Turbo Diesel has a first-time pass rate of just 20%, far below the UK average of 80%—this is a serious red flag for reliability. No dangerous defects were recorded across the 876 vehicles analysed, which is the only positive note in an otherwise deeply concerning picture.
These trucks are now over 30 years old and still averaging 67,500 miles, suggesting survivors tend to be well-used workhorses rather than pampered examples. The zero average failures and advisories recorded is an artefact of extremely sparse MOT data; what this really tells you is that most of these vehicles are failing their tests outright rather than limping through with minor issues. If you're considering one, budget heavily for immediate remedial work and have a pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist—this isn't a buy-and-drive proposition.
We have 876 1991 Ford P100 Turbo Diesel vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1991 Ford P100 Turbo Diesel
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.
