Our Verdict

A strong candidate for those seeking a m

When inspecting this Transit Custom, prioritize checking the service history to ensure the 2000cc diesel engine has been maintained according to Ford's schedule, as MOT records do not confirm mechanical upkeep. Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and the drive shaft joints, as these are common failure points across the wider fleet.

Negotiate based on the mileage; at over 30,000 miles in roughly three years, this vehicle has been driven more than the statistical average for this model. Check for any signs of heavy load wear in the rear suspension or interior load area, which is typical for the 300Leader specification.

As a 1995cc diesel, running costs will be dictated by annual mileage and load weight. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a modern Euro 6 diesel engine, though actual figures will vary based on payload.

Tax and insurance groups for the Transit Custom vary, but as a 2023 model, it should benefit from modern emissions standards. Budget for regular maintenance including oil changes and brake inspections, which are essential for commercial vehicles used in high-frequency environments.

Focus your inspection on the lighting systems and tyre tread depth, as headlamps and tyres are the most frequent MOT failure reasons for this model type. Ensure all exterior lights are functioning correctly to avoid immediate post-purchase issues.

Additionally, inspect the drive shaft joints for any play or unusual noise during a test drive, as this is a known aggregate failure point for the Transit range. Check the underside for any signs of excessive wear that might suggest heavy-duty use, despite the clean MOT pass.

This 2023 Ford Transit Custom 300Leader eBlue is a recent registration with 30,765 miles recorded at its last MOT in March 2026. Unlike many commercial vehicles that see heavy usage, this specific white diesel unit has a clean MOT record with no defects noted. While it has covered more than the model average of 13,723 miles per year, the lack of recorded failures is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.

The Ford Transit Custom shows an 80.1% average MOT pass rate across the 23,675 vehicles analysed, with common issues relating to headlamps, drive shaft joints, and tyres.
