Our Verdict
This 2022 Ford Transit Custom 320 Limite
Given the very recent MOT failure, even though it was a wiper-related item, it is sensible to ask the seller exactly what was replaced and to inspect the wipers yourself during a viewing — a properly functioning wiper system is essential on a working van. The 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel is a common fleet and tradesman favourite, so parts availability is strong and most general garages can service it without specialist knowledge.
It is worth confirming whether the vehicle has a full Ford main-dealer or specialist service history, as the MOT data alone cannot evidence routine maintenance such as cambelt or AdBlue system servicing. Diesel vans of this age and mileage are approaching the point where clutch wear, dual-mass flywheel condition and turbocharger play become live concerns, so a raised-rpm test drive is advisable.
When negotiating, use the wiper failure and the slightly above-average annual mileage as modest leverage — neither is a deal-breaker but together they justify a small discount or the inclusion of a fresh service and a new set of wiper blades as part of the sale.
The 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel in the Transit Custom typically returns around 40-44 mpg on a mixed cycle, depending on load, which is competitive for the van class. Fuel costs will therefore be the largest running expense for most operators, especially given the 14,000-mile-per-year usage pattern suggested by this van's history.
Road tax for a Euro 6 diesel van of this specification sits in a relatively low band, and the E-Blue badging confirms it meets the latest emissions standard required for clean air zone access in cities such as London, Birmingham and Bristol. Insurance for a Transit Custom 320 Limited is typically moderate, falling into insurance group 30-35 depending on the exact variant and driver history.
Routine maintenance on the EcoBlue engine is straightforward, with oil and filter services usually priced around £180-£250 at independent garages. Budget for replacement brake pads and tyres more frequently than on a car, as vans of this kind commonly fail MOTs on those items — both are flagged as top failure reasons across the model range.
Start with a close look at the windscreen wiper system, since this van failed its May 2026 test on the offside front wiper not clearing effectively. Check both sides, look for streaking or smearing, and confirm the wiper blades and arms are in good condition. Also inspect the windscreen itself for any chips or cracks in the driver's line of sight, as these would be an immediate fail.
Given that brake pads, tyres and headlamp issues are the three most common MOT failures across the Transit Custom range according to the aggregate data, prioritise a physical inspection of pad and disc wear on all four corners, tread depth across each tyre (including the spare if accessible), and the condition and aim of both headlamps. A van used for commercial work may have seen heavier braking and cornering wear than its mileage suggests.
Beyond the MOT-related items, check the rear load area for signs of heavy use, the sliding side door for smooth operation, and the E-Blue AdBlue system for any warning lights on ignition. A diagnostic scan reading fault codes from the DPF, AdBlue and turbo systems is highly recommended on any used Transit Custom diesel of this age.
This diesel Transit Custom was first registered in March 2022 and has covered 42,399 miles across three MOT records. Two of the three tests were passes with no advisories, while one fail in May 2026 was a straightforward wiper-effectiveness issue that was rectified the following day. Against the model average MOT pass rate of 83.6%, this individual van's record is broadly in line with its peers, though the high annual figure of roughly 14,000 miles sits above the model average of 13,073.
Across 23,439 Ford Transit Custom examples analysed, the model achieves an 83.6% MOT pass rate, with brake pads, tyres and headlamp issues being the most common reasons for failure. This places it broadly in line with other popular commercial vans, though buyers should still expect routine wear-item replacements.
