Our Verdict

This is a near-new vehicle with very low

Since there is no MOT history available for ML26ACX, your primary focus should be on the manufacturer's warranty and the service history. Ensure that any PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) documentation is present and that the vehicle has been maintained according to Ford's specific intervals for the 2.0L diesel engine.

When negotiating, ask for confirmation of the remaining manufacturer warranty period. Because this is a commercial vehicle, check for any signs of heavy loading or rough use that might not yet be reflected in the mileage, as these can impact long-term component wear.

As a Euro 6 diesel, this Transit Custom is designed to meet modern emissions standards, which is crucial for driving in ULEZ or CAZ zones. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but the eBlue technology is generally aimed at improving efficiency.

Tax and insurance will vary based on your specific profile, but as a 2026 model, it will likely fall into a standard commercial bracket. Expect maintenance costs to be predictable in the early years, primarily consisting of routine oil changes and filter replacements.

With no MOT failures recorded to date, you should perform a visual inspection of the common wear items identified in the wider model aggregate data. Specifically, check the condition of the tyres, brake pads, and windscreen wipers, as these are the most frequent failure points for this model type.

Additionally, inspect the van's load area for signs of heavy impact or structural stress, and check the diesel engine for any signs of fluid leaks. Given its age, ensure all electronic systems and the eBlue hybrid/efficiency components are functioning as intended.

Registered in May 2026, this Ford Transit Custom 320 Trend eBlue is a very recent addition to the road. As it has not yet reached its first MOT anniversary, there is no historical testing data to review. The vehicle represents a current-generation model with a 1996cc diesel engine, offering a modern Euro 6 compliant profile.

Aggregate data from over 16,000 similar vehicles shows a 79.8% MOT pass rate, with tyres, brake pads, and wipers being the most common reasons for failure.
