1991 Leyland Roadrunner 10.13

CarHunch analysed 148 real MOT records for the 1991 Leyland Roadrunner 10.13. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 1991 Leyland Roadrunner 10.13 passes its MOT on the first attempt 100% of the time—a perfect record that far exceeds the 80% UK average—though the extremely low sample size of 148 vehicles limits how much weight you can place on this figure. The dangerous defect rate of 0.7% is reassuringly low, suggesting these vans are generally safe when properly maintained.

At 186,000 miles median, these vehicles have covered substantial mileage for their age, yet they average just 0.04 failures and 0.1 advisories per test, indicating they're holding up remarkably well. If you're considering one, focus your pre-purchase inspection on chassis and suspension integrity, as the low failure count suggests most owners are keeping them in genuinely roadworthy condition.

What to check before buying a 1991 Leyland Roadrunner 10.13

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.
