Our Verdict

Avoid this 2011 Ford Transit (SC03ACE) unless you are prepared for immediate and significant repair costs. The MOT history shows repeated failures for safety-critical and structural issues, including corroded sills and excessive emissions.

If you are still considering this van, budget for immediate welding to the near and offside sills, which were recorded as corroded and holed at the 2024 and 2025 tests. The September 2025 failure included a cut in the offside rear inner tyre to the cords, excessively worn anti-roll bar ball joint, and parking brake efficiency below requirements — all of which must be confirmed as properly repaired, not just noted. Request the full service history and evidence of any emission-related work, as the van failed on exhaust emissions exceeding manufacturer's limit in both 2024 and 2025.
