Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Focus on the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has had regular oil changes, especially given the high mileage. Check for evidence that the corroded rear brake pipe mentioned in the January 2025 MOT was fully addressed rather than just patched.
Negotiate the price based on the higher-than-average mileage and the likelihood of upcoming preventative maintenance on the drivetrain and suspension, which often require attention at this stage of a Transit's life.
As a Euro 6 diesel, this van offers the necessary emissions compliance for UK low-emission zones, though fuel costs will be a primary expense given the engine size and typical usage patterns. Insurance groups for the Transit Custom vary, but maintenance costs typically increase as the vehicle exceeds 100,000 miles.
Annual costs will be driven by fuel consumption and the need for regular servicing to maintain the 1995cc engine. Expect higher spend on wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes, which are common failure points for this model.
Closely inspect the nearside front CV boot to ensure the replacement was performed correctly following the December 2025 failure. Check the condition of the rear brake pipes for corrosion, as this was flagged as an advisory in early 2025 and is a known area of concern for these vehicles.
Additionally, verify the current tread depth of all tyres and the operation of the windscreen wipers, as these were specific reasons for the most recent MOT failure. Ensure the headlamp beam is correctly aligned to avoid future testing issues.
This silver 2019 Ford Transit Custom has covered 130,021 miles, which is notably above the model average. Its MOT history shows a pattern of pass results, though the most recent test in December 2025 required repairs to the front tyres, wiper, headlamp aim, and a nearside front CV boot.
The Transit Custom has an average MOT pass rate of 83.3%, with common failures frequently relating to headlamps, service brakes, and tyres.
