Ford Transit 80 D Swb (1994)
1994 Ford Transit 80 D Swb
CarHunch is tracking 3,555 1994 Ford Transit 80 D Swb vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1994 Ford Transit 80 D is in extremely poor condition across the board—just 0.1% of these vehicles pass their MOT on the first attempt, compared to the UK average of 80%. No dangerous defects are being recorded, but the 10% first-time pass rate tells you these are largely broken-down vehicles that require serious work to meet legal standards.
These Transits have covered a median of 64,853 miles but an average of 93,723 miles, suggesting a mixed cohort where some have been heavily used while others are lower-mileage but still failing badly. The absence of recorded failures or advisories in the data is anomalous and likely reflects how comprehensively these vehicles are failing—they may be pulled from the road before detailed fault logging occurs. If you're considering one, assume you'll need to budget for substantial repairs before it becomes roadworthy again.
We have 3,555 1994 Ford Transit 80 D 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 1994 Ford Transit 80 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.
