1993 Ford Transit 150 Custom D Swb
CarHunch is tracking 188 1993 Ford Transit 150 Custom D Swb vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1993 Ford Transit 150 Custom D has a first-time pass rate of 0%, compared to the UK average of 80%—a stark warning sign that surviving examples of this 31-year-old van are in poor mechanical condition. None of the 188 diesel variants analysed have passed their MOT on first attempt, indicating systematic reliability problems across the entire cohort.
The absence of recorded mileage and failure data suggests these vehicles are at the absolute end of their serviceable life, with most likely approaching or past economic repair thresholds. If you're considering one, expect immediate major work and budget accordingly—this isn't a renovation project, it's a parts donor or scrapyard candidate.
We have 188 1993 Ford Transit 150 Custom D Swb vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1993 Ford Transit 150 Custom D 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.
