Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When inspecting this Transit Custom, prioritize a thorough check of the cooling system. The most recent MOT failure involved a coolant leak from the radiator, so ensure this has been professionally repaired and that there are no signs of residue around the engine bay.
You should also examine the condition of all four tyres and the wheels. The history shows a trend of tyre cuts and a distorted nearside front road wheel. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear, which could indicate suspension or alignment issues, especially following the previous advisory regarding shock absorber oil misting.
As a 2.0L diesel Euro 6 vehicle, this van is designed to meet modern emissions standards, which is beneficial for ULEZ and CAZ compliance. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but typical Transit Custom figures apply.
Tax and insurance will vary based on the specific driver profile and insurance group. Maintenance costs for this model can fluctuate; while parts are widely available, the recent MOT history suggests you should budget for upcoming maintenance on consumables like tyres, wipers, and potentially the cooling system and shock absorbers.
Specifically inspect the radiator and all coolant hoses to ensure the leak noted in October 2025 has been fully rectified. Check the windscreen for any chips or cracks, as this was a recent failure point, and verify that the washer fluid system is fully operational.
Examine the front suspension components. The 2024 MOT recorded light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber. While it passed, you should check for more significant leaks. Additionally, inspect the wheels for any dents or distortions, as the nearside front wheel was flagged as slightly distorted in the most recent test.
This 2019 Ford Transit Custom 280Leader eBlue has covered 88,494 miles, which is above the model average of 15,130 miles per year. The MOT history shows a transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple failures in 2024 and 2025. Recent issues include radiator leaks, tyre damage, and windscreen defects.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.7% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, drive shaft joints, and brake pads.
