Ford Transit 80 Swb (2000)
2000 Ford Transit 80 Swb
CarHunch is tracking 880 2000 Ford Transit 80 Swb vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
The 2000 Ford Transit 80 SWB passes its MOT first time in just 70% of cases, 10 percentage points below the UK average, suggesting these vans are prone to at least one defect when tested. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually absent (0%), and the diesel engines show no differentiation in pass rate because nearly all 880 vehicles analysed were diesel-powered.
At 154,000 miles median, these vans have racked up serious mileage for their age, yet they're averaging only 0.02 failures per vehicle, implying most damage is minor or caught early. If you're buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focusing on chassis, brakes, and suspension—the areas typically cited in MOT failures for this generation—rather than expecting catastrophic engine problems.
We have 880 2000 Ford Transit 80 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 2000 Ford Transit 80 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.
