Compare Ford Transit interim service and MOT quotes from specialist garages

Ford was the first carmaker to introduce a vehicle assembly line, speeding up the process of production and bringing cars to more people than ever before. The brand's motorsport credentials are equally impressive. In the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race, Ford ended Ferrari's six-year winning streak, beating the likes of Porsche and Lamborghini to the title with an ever-popular GT40.

Jim Morrison, the lead singer of rock band The Doors, famously adored his 1967 Ford Shelby GT500, the only car he ever owned. It is a mystery to this day where the vehicle ended up after his death.

The Ford Transit has been an iconic van on British roads since 1965. Incredibly, it was the best-selling vehicle in the UK in 2022, and it has won International Van of the Year an impressive five times, including in 2024. Top speeds for the Transit typically range between 90 and 110 mph, with a 0-60 time of around ten to 20 seconds.

An interesting piece of trivia is that in one episode of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson drove a converted Transit hover van up the River Avon. Unsurprisingly, the Transit has a reputation for excellent reliability, with few common problems reported. Watch for injector issues (signalled by excessive oil use) and brake booster faults.

Booking an MOT and interim service together could save you time and money. Some garages may offer a discount on the usual price of an MOT, and the service will help prevent issues later down the line.

Most manufacturers recommend you book an interim service - sometimes referred to as a minor service - every 6,000 miles. Usually, this involves a check of your car's fluids, engine, battery, tyres and lights. It is less comprehensive than a full service.

During a car interim service and MOT, the MOT test should be completed first, so there is less work to do during the service and no checks are repeated.

When searching for the best MOT and interim service prices, you should also consider the number of checks offered in the service and whether you can get a discount.
