Ford Transit 100 T300 FWD (2013)
2013 Ford Transit 100 T300 FWD
CarHunch analysed 140 real MOT records for the 2013 Ford Transit 100 T300 FWD. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2013 Transit 100 is a weak MOT performer, with a first-time pass rate of just 66.6% against the UK average of 80%. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so safety-critical failures aren't a pattern here—the failures instead cluster around wear items and maintenance-deferred repairs.
At 105,856 miles on average, these vans are running high mileage for their age, which explains the 0.92 failures per vehicle: you're looking at a working van that's had genuine use. Before buying, get a full pre-purchase inspection focusing on suspension, brakes, and engine condition, as these Transits show consistent wear rather than catastrophic defects.
What to check before buying a 2013 Ford Transit 100 T300 FWD
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.
