2004 Montracon Ltd N/a

CarHunch analysed 119 real MOT records for the 2004 Montracon Ltd N/a. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2004 Montracon is marginally below the UK average on first-time pass rates at 78.6% versus 80%, suggesting reliability that's broadly typical for its age but not exceptional—the good news is that no vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety isn't a red flag. With an average of 0.77 failures per vehicle and zero advisories, these are sturdy commercial units that tend to fail hard (actual failures rather than minor issues) when they do go wrong, which is relatively rare. The median Carhunch score of 55 reflects a vehicle that's solidly mid-range for its era; if you're buying one, get a full pre-purchase inspection focusing on structural and brake integrity, as that's where failures cluster on this model type.

What to check before buying a 2004 Montracon Ltd N/a

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.
