There were not enough MOT tests of Ford Transit Couriers in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.
Of the 109 Ford Transit Couriers licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 95.4% have an engine of 1,401cc to 1,500cc, and 3.7% have an engine of 1,501cc to 1,600cc.
DVLA records engine size in 100cc bands.
| Engine size | Share of those licensed |
|---|---|
| 1,401cc to 1,500cc 104 licensed | 95.4% |
| 1,501cc to 1,600cc 4 licensed | 3.7% |
| Other sizes 1 licensed | 0.9% |

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.
DVSA lists 20 safety recalls for the Ford Transit Courier since 1992, the first in 2023. The most recent was launched on 30 June 2026.
All 20 Ford Transit Courier recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
100% of the Ford Transit Couriers on the DVLA record are vans. DVSA’s recalls cover every body type, so some of these recalls may apply only to vans.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Ford Transit Courier. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
