1991 Ford Transit 2.0L Petrol · J370 SJW

The 1991 Ford Transit presents a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 71,609 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across the available history. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring faults; every recorded test from 7 January 2022 through to the 2025 retest cleared without advisories. Recorded mileage sits at 71,609 against roughly 35 years of age, an average of about 2,046 miles per year. The van covered only 757 miles between the January 2025 test at 70,852 miles and the December 2025 test, and just 948 miles across the whole of 2023 into January 2025. Such low annual use points to light duties or extended standing periods. The MOT data itself is sparse on faults, with five consecutive clean passes and no gaps longer than twelve months between tests. A buyer should still inspect structural corrosion on chassis rails, sills, and suspension mounting points, as a 1991 Transit left standing for long spells will rot before mechanical wear shows. Check the rear spring hangers and brake pipes for rust pitting the tester may not have flagged under current pass thresholds. Verify the condition of tyres, brake discs, and flexible hoses that degrade with age rather than mileage. The clean record implies a careful keeper, but low use hides perishable items; a physical inspection of suspension bushes and handbrake operation remains prudent before purchase.
