Ford Transit 150 Swb (1995)
1995 Ford Transit 150 Swb
CarHunch is tracking 257 1995 Ford Transit 150 Swb vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1995 Transit 150 SWB is a very poor MOT performer: only 40% pass on their first test versus the UK average of 80%, which is a red flag for any prospective buyer. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually absent (0%), so what's failing these vehicles tends to be repairable rather than safety-critical.
At nearly 99,000 miles for a nearly 30-year-old van, these are well-used workhorses, yet the zero average failures and advisories recorded is suspicious—it likely reflects incomplete MOT data rather than exceptional condition. Before buying one, insist on a full pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist, since every example in this cohort is diesel-powered and you need to understand why four in ten fail their first MOT.
We have 257 1995 Ford Transit 150 Swb vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1995 Ford Transit 150 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.
