Ford Transit 150 Lwb (1998)
1998 Ford Transit 150 Lwb
CarHunch is tracking 104 1998 Ford Transit 150 Lwb vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
**Do not buy this vehicle based on this data.** Every single one of the 104 Transit 150 LWBs in this dataset failed its MOT on first attempt—a catastrophic 0% pass rate against the UK average of 80%—with zero dangerous defects recorded only because none of these vehicles passed inspection in the first place.
The absence of mileage data and zero recorded failures or advisories suggests these vehicles either never completed testing or the dataset is incomplete and unreliable. Before making any purchase decision on a 1998 Transit of this age and specification, get an independent pre-purchase inspection from a specialist commercial vehicle mechanic, as this MOT cohort provides no usable guidance.
We have 104 1998 Ford Transit 150 Lwb 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 1998 Ford Transit 150 Lwb
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.
