Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2021 model has the highest pass rate at 87% from 5,480 tests. The 2014 model has the lowest at 77%. The 10 point gap means pass rates vary somewhat between years, but no year is dramatically different. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.

Reliability Trend

Newer Ford Transit Couriers pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 6 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.

Mileage Across Years

The oldest model in our data (2014) averages 118,352 miles, while the newest (2022) averages 30,669 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
