The MoT Files 2017: 10 best vans for passing the first MoT in the UK
According to the Government’s MoT figures, these vans and pick-ups are the top of the class when it comes to passing the first-test-at-three years. That’s good news for operators who want a capable commercial vehicle, with low maintenance costs.
As with the 10 worst vans, this data is sourced directly from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) figures and covers all three year old vans (registered in 2013) that had their first MoT in 2016.
Ford Ranger - 80.9% pass rate
We're big fans of the rugged Ford Ranger; its stylish exterior is backed by a practical one-tonne carrying capacity. The big Ford also impresses at the MoT Station too, with an average pass rate of almost 81 per cent.
The Ranger fares extremely well against the most-common failure areas, which means most three-year-old-models breeze through the first MoT. Indeed, when it comes to lighting and electrical equipment, the Ranger performs almost 50 per cent better than the national average.
