Our Verdict
A strong candidate for a buyer seeking a
Given the clean MOT history, your primary focus should be on verifying the physical service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has received regular oil and filter changes. While the MOTs show no defects, commercial vehicles often undergo heavy use; check for signs of wear in the load area and suspension components that might not yet have triggered an MOT advisory.
When negotiating, ask for documentation regarding the timing belt (cambelt) replacement, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine size around this mileage. Ensure that all recent work reflected in the 2026 MOT pass at 73,248 miles is documented, even if no defects were found.
As a 1995cc diesel, this Transit Custom is designed for efficiency in a commercial context, though actual costs will depend heavily on payload and driving style. Tax and insurance groups for this model vary, but the 2.0L engine typically sits in a moderate bracket for a van of this size.
Maintenance costs for Ford commercial vehicles are generally predictable, though you should budget for consumables like tyres and brake pads. Based on the mileage and model type, an estimated annual running cost of £1,400-£1,800 is reasonable, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
While this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model shows that headlamps, service brakes, and tyres are the most common failure points. You should specifically check the clarity of the headlamp lenses and the remaining tread depth and condition of all tyres.
Additionally, inspect the braking system for any uneven wear or noise, as 'service brake excessively' is a common issue across the wider Transit Custom fleet. Given the mileage has increased significantly between 2025 (49,804 miles) and 2026 (73,248 miles), check the suspension for any signs of recent heavy-duty use.
This 2018 Ford Transit Custom (OV68GXP) has a consistent record of five consecutive MOT passes without a single recorded defect. Since its first registration in October 2018, it has covered 73,248 miles, which is notably lower than the aggregate model average of 12,364 miles per year. The vehicle's grey 2.0L diesel engine has been tested annually with no failures noted in the records.
The Ford Transit Custom shows an 83.2% average MOT pass rate across 78,407 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to lighting and braking systems.
