Our Verdict
Highly recommended for buyers seeking a low-mileage example of this popular van. The exceptionally low mileage and clean MOT history make this a standout candidate in the used Transit Custom market.
The primary focus for a buyer should be verifying the service history to ensure that despite the low mileage, the vehicle has received regular oil changes and component inspections. Because the mileage is so low, you should check for signs of age-related wear on rubber components, such as tyres and suspension bushings, which can perish even if not heavily used.
When negotiating, use the low mileage as a key strength, but ask for evidence of any scheduled maintenance that might have been deferred due to infrequent use. Ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been managed correctly, as very low-mileage diesel vans can sometimes suffer from soot build-up if they have only been used for short urban trips.
As a 1995cc diesel, this Transit Custom is designed for efficiency, though actual fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style. You should check the specific tax band for this 2018 model, as UK commercial vehicle tax can vary.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, but you should budget for typical van consumables like tyres and brake pads. Given the low mileage recorded in the MOT history, immediate mechanical repairs due to wear are statistically less likely, though you should still factor in an annual maintenance budget for routine servicing.
While this specific vehicle has a clean MOT record with no defects, the aggregate data for Ford Transit Customs shows common failure points include headlamps, service brakes, and tyres. You should specifically check the condition of the headlamp lenses for clouding and inspect the brake pads and discs for any signs of uneven wear or corrosion.
Additionally, inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as the MOT history shows no failures here, but it remains a common issue for this model. Check the underside for any signs of corrosion, which is a standard check for any commercial vehicle of this age.
This 2018 Ford Transit Custom (MV68VGO) presents with significantly lower-than-average mileage, having covered just 17,089 miles since its first registration in September 2018. The MOT history is notably clean, with five consecutive passes and no recorded defects or failures between 2021 and 2025. Given the model's average annual mileage of 12,388, this specific black 2.0L diesel vehicle has been used far less intensively than the typical specimen.
The Ford Transit Custom shows an average MOT pass rate of 83.2% across 78,347 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to lighting, braking, and tyres.
