Ford Transit 100 Swb (1995)
1995 Ford Transit 100 Swb
CarHunch is tracking 1,827 1995 Ford Transit 100 Swb vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1995 Ford Transit 100 SWB is a serious reliability concern—only 10% pass the MOT on their first attempt, compared to the UK average of 80%. The diesel variant (which makes up 98% of the sample) shows the same poor 10% pass rate, and while dangerous defects are rare, the stark gap between this van and typical vehicles signals recurring mechanical problems that buyers should expect to fix.
At nearly 150,000 miles on average, these vans have seen hard use, yet the zero average failures and advisories recorded is misleading—it reflects that most vehicles in this cohort are failing rather than accumulating documented defects. Before buying one, budget for multiple MOT attempts and get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the specific faults that cause first-time failures, as patterns will emerge once you review actual test records from several vehicles.
We have 1,827 1995 Ford Transit 100 Swb vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1995 Ford Transit 100 Swb
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.
