# 1987 Mercedes 307D Van
This van has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is drastically below the UK average of 80%—every single one of the 289 diesel examples tested failed its MOT on first attempt. No dangerous defects were recorded and average failures and advisories per vehicle sit at zero, which suggests the data itself may be incomplete or these vehicles are no longer in regular use.
The median CarHunch score of 50 and complete absence of mileage records indicate these 1987 vans are now extremely rare on the road, making this dataset more of a historical curiosity than a practical buying guide. If you're genuinely considering one, treat it as a classic restoration project rather than a daily driver, and budget heavily for a full mechanical overhaul before any MOT attempt.
We have 289 1987 Mercedes 307d Van 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 1987 Mercedes 307d Van
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.
