This 2013 Transit 125 is a serious reliability concern: only 35.9% pass their MOT first time, less than half the UK average of 80%. The overwhelming majority are diesel (937 out of 945 vehicles), and that fuel type shows an identical 35.6% pass rate, so there's no fuel-related variation hiding here—this is simply a van that fails heavily across the board.
These vans are working hard, with a median mileage of 127,725 miles at 11 years old, which is typical for a commercial vehicle. The average of 0.54 failures per test suggests structural or wear-related issues that accumulate rather than isolated problems, and the complete absence of dangerous defects is the only bright spot. If you're buying one used, budget for imminent MOT work and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on suspension, braking, and emissions systems where Transit 125s typically stumble.
The 2013 Ford Transit 125 T350 RWD passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (81.2%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
These stats describe 945 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.

Brake pipes, sills and subframes are the key areas on a vehicle this age — structural rust is hard to spot without getting underneath. A mechanic will check all of this before you commit, and give you a concrete basis to negotiate on price.
