Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those needing a
When inspecting this specific Transit Custom, focus on the condition of the tyres. The most recent MOT test on 16/10/2025 noted that both the nearside and offside front tyres were slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing. You should check if these have been replaced since that test or if they still show signs of age-related degradation.
Given this is a 2.0L diesel model, check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay and ensure the turbocharger area looks clean. As with many commercial vehicles, verify that the load area is in good condition and check the service intervals to see how the vehicle has been maintained between its registration and its first MOT.
As a Euro 6 diesel, this vehicle is compliant with most UK Low Emission Zones (LEZ) and Clean Air Zones (CAZ), which helps avoid daily charges in major cities. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but the 1995cc engine is a standard, efficient choice for this class of van.
Insurance groups for the Transit Custom vary significantly based on driver profile, so obtain a quote specifically for the JAL800 registration. Maintenance costs for Ford commercial vehicles are generally predictable, though you should budget for regular consumable replacements like tyres, brakes, and oil filters.
The primary item to inspect is the tyre condition. The MOT history specifically flagged 'slightly damaged/cracking or perishing' on both front tyres. Examine the sidewalls for any deep cracks or bulges that could indicate structural weakness.
Beyond the MOT record, be aware that aggregate data for this model shows common failure points include headlamps, drive shaft joints, and brake pads. It is worth testing the headlight alignment and checking for any play in the front suspension or driveshafts during a test drive to ensure these common issues are not present.
This 2022 Ford Transit Custom 280Leader eBlue is a relatively recent addition to the road, having been first registered in November 2022.

The vehicle shows a single MOT record which passed, though it did highlight issues with both front tyres.
Aggregate data from over 11,000 vehicles shows a pass rate of 83.7%, with common mechanical failures involving lighting, driveshafts, and brakes.
