Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those needin
When inspecting this specific 2018 Transit Custom, focus on the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has received regular oil changes, which is vital for turbo longevity. While the MOT history is clean for the last three years, you should verify that all scheduled maintenance has been performed between tests.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at nearly 80,000 miles, it is higher than the aggregate annual average for this model. Check the condition of the load area and any signs of heavy commercial use that might not be captured in an MOT test, such as interior wear or suspension fatigue from heavy payloads.
Running costs for this 1995cc diesel Transit Custom will be influenced by its commercial classification. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized diesel van, though actual figures will depend heavily on load weight and driving style.
Insurance groups for these models vary significantly depending on the driver's profile and use case (social vs. commercial). Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regular diesel-specific servicing, including fuel filter replacements and brake inspections, which are common requirements for vans of this age and mileage.
Given the model aggregate data, pay close attention to the headlamps, service brakes, and tyre condition, as these are the most frequent failure points for this vehicle type. Although this specific vehicle has had no recent failures, these components are wear items that should be checked for even tread depth and effective braking force.
Additionally, inspect the underside for signs of corrosion and check the suspension components. Since the 2022 MOT showed a failure at 48,823 miles, ensure that whatever caused that initial failure was addressed and hasn't recurred, despite the subsequent clean records.
This 2018 Ford Transit Custom (ML68DPZ) is a 2.0L diesel van with 79,748 miles recorded at its last MOT in August 2025. The vehicle has maintained a consistent testing pattern since 2022, with the most recent three MOTs showing no defects. Its mileage is slightly above the model average of 12,404 per year, reflecting its likely use as a commercial vehicle.
The Ford Transit Custom shows an average MOT pass rate of 83.2% across the 78,353 vehicles analysed in our database.
