Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise reviewing the repair invoices from April 2025. You should verify that the coolant leak was permanently resolved and that the offside outer drive shaft joint and CV boot were replaced with new parts rather than temporary fixes. Ensure there is evidence of these repairs to avoid inheriting a recurring mechanical issue.
Check the current state of the offside front suspension arm bushes, as these remained an advisory item as late as May 2025. Negotiate the price based on the remaining life of the tyres and the condition of the windscreen, which was noted as damaged during the most recent test.
Equipped with a 1995cc diesel engine, this vehicle will incur typical commercial running costs. Fuel economy is standard for a van of this size, and it will fall into a standard diesel tax bracket for 2018 registrations. Insurance costs will vary based on the driver's profile and intended use.
Maintenance costs for the Transit Custom can be moderate, particularly regarding suspension and braking components which are common failure points for the model. Given the vehicle's age and previous MOT failures, a budget for preventative maintenance is recommended.
Closely inspect the engine bay for any signs of coolant residue or fresh leaks, referencing the failure recorded in April 2025. During a test drive, listen for clicking sounds from the offside front wheel area to ensure the drive shaft and CV boot repairs are holding up.
Examine all four tyres for cuts or uneven wear, as this vehicle has a history of tyre-related MOT failures and advisories. Finally, check the operation of all headlamps and the integrity of the windscreen to ensure the issues flagged in the April 2026 test have been fully addressed.
This 2018 white Ford Transit Custom has covered 87,804 miles, which is lower than the typical annual average for this model. The MOT history is mixed, featuring a comprehensive list of failures in April 2025 including a coolant leak and drivetrain wear, followed by a more recent pass in April 2026. The vehicle's record shows a recurring pattern of tyre and suspension-related advisories.
The Transit Custom has an average MOT pass rate of 83.3%, with headlamps, brakes, and tyres being the most frequent causes of failure across the model range.
