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.

Toyota Hilux - 80.1% pass rate

The Toyota Hilux is another pick-up that performs strongly at the first MoT test. Given its reputation for toughness, it's perhaps unsurprising that it does so well, with eight out of 10 scoring a pass at the three-year-test.

Drill into the numbers and you'll find that less than 10 per cent will fail on lighting and electrical issues, while brakes, tyres and suspension failure rates are also significantly lower than average.
