The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
MOT test data is not available for this 1991 Ford Transit 120 Popular because it was registered as a light commercial vehicle and falls outside the DVLA light-vehicle MOT database included in this analysis. Heavy commercial vehicles are tested under a separate DVSA regime with different standards and reporting, so conventional pass rates and defect statistics don't apply here.
What we do know is that 1,734 examples of this model remain registered in the UK, with roughly two-thirds diesel-powered and one-third petrol—a reflection of the Transit's long history as a workhorse van for small businesses and tradespeople. If you're considering one, the real reliability picture depends on service history, rust (a common Transit weakness from this era), and whether it's been properly maintained rather than MOT pass data. Have a pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic familiar with Transits, and check the service records carefully—these vehicles were built to work hard, not necessarily to be pampered.
We have 1,734 1991 Ford Transit 120 Popular vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
