Our Verdict

A solid recommendation provided the tyre

Your primary point of negotiation should be the tyres. The March 2026 MOT flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit, and the March 2025 test noted cracking or perishing on both rear tyres; you should verify if a full set has been replaced since.

Given the mileage is approximately 15,000 miles above the average for this model's age, closely examine the service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements have been carried out at the correct intervals for a high-usage commercial vehicle.

As a Euro 6 diesel, this vehicle is compliant with most UK low-emission zones, reducing potential daily charges. Fuel costs will be the primary expense given the 2.0L engine and the vehicle's history of high annual mileage.

Maintenance costs for the Transit Custom are generally predictable, but buyers should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items like tyres and wipers, which are common failure points for this model. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and servicing are likely to be significant due to the vehicle's usage profile.

Prioritise a thorough inspection of all four tyres. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre issues, with rear tyre perishing in 2025 followed by front tyre wear in 2026. Check the tread depth and sidewall integrity specifically.

Additionally, check the windscreen wipers and headlamps, as aggregate data for over 52,000 Transit Customs identifies these as top failure reasons. Finally, inspect the black paintwork for common commercial scuffs and ensure the Euro 6 emissions system is functioning correctly.

This black 2020 Ford Transit Custom 300 Limited E-Blue has recorded 90,247 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. It has passed its three most recent MOT tests without failure, although the two most recent tests contain advisories regarding tyre wear and condition. It features a 1995cc Euro 6 diesel engine.

The Transit Custom has an average MOT pass rate of 82.9%, with tyres, wipers, and headlamps being the most frequent causes of failure.
