Our Verdict
This 2018 Ford Transit Custom presents a strong value proposition with a clean MOT history and low mileage for its age. Recommended for buyers prioritising reliability.
Verify the service history for regular oil changes and filter replacements, common maintenance needs for diesel engines. Negotiate based on its low mileage and clean MOT record, but be cautious of potential hidden wear in high-use commercial vehicles. Check for any unrecorded modifications affecting payload capacity or fuel efficiency.
Diesel fuel economy for the 1.995cc engine typically ranges between 35-45 mpg on mixed driving. Vehicle Excise Duty would place it in the £255 annual tax band (2023-2026). Insurance groups for commercial vans vary, but this model typically falls in mid-range groups. Routine maintenance costs average £300-£500 annually for oil changes, brake checks, and filter replacements. Estimated annual running cost: £800-£1,200.
Review the MOT certificates for any minor advisories missed in the 'no defects' category. Inspect the engine bay for oil leaks or corrosion, common issues in older diesel vans. Check the chassis and body for rust, particularly around wheel arches and undercarriage. Test the 4x4 system if fitted, as transfer case issues can arise in older models.
The vehicle has maintained a consistent 67,204-mile record since 2021, showing no MOT failures across five consecutive annual tests. While no aggregate model data exists, its consistent maintenance record suggests responsible ownership. The 1.995cc diesel engine aligns with typical commercial van usage patterns.
While no aggregate data exists for the Ford Transit Custom, its reputation as a durable commercial vehicle persists among fleet operators.
