Our Verdict
This 2018 Ford Transit Custom is a strong used buy thanks to a clean MOT record and low mileage for its age. We recommend viewing it in person to confirm condition, but the history suggests a well-maintained example.
Given the consistently clean MOT history, focus your negotiations on service records — confirm the 2.0-litre diesel has been serviced on schedule, as lack of evidence could justify a price reduction for a precautionary service. The 2023 wiper blade note is trivial, but check for any recurring minor issues not captured in the MOT such as door latch wear common on vans used for deliveries. As this is a grey 2018 example (YP68ABN), compare against similar Transit Custom prices locally, using the low 17k mileage as a key bargaining strength if other sellers show higher miles.
As a 1995cc diesel, the Transit Custom typically returns good fuel economy for a van, though exact figures are not in the provided data; expect reasonable per-mile costs versus petrol equivalents. Road tax for a diesel of this size and age will be in a higher band, and insurance group data is not provided but commercial vans usually sit mid-range. Typical maintenance for the 2.0 TDCi includes regular oil changes and brake checks; estimated annual running cost is £1,200-£1,600 including fuel, tax, insurance and routine upkeep based on low mileage use.
The MOT history shows only a 2023 front windscreen wiper blade defect (3.4 (b)(i)) and a 2025 note of items removed from driver's view — inspect the windscreen wipers and ensure no phone mounts or clutter block the driver's sightlines. With just 17,240 miles, physically check the 2.0 diesel for oil leaks, turbo condition and brake wear, as low use can hide infrequent servicing rather than heavy abuse. Verify the grey bodywork and September 2018 registration match YP68ABN, and test all lights and suspension given no failures but age-related wear is possible on a 7-year-old van.
The vehicle has passed every MOT from 2021 to 2025 with no failures recorded, covering just 17,240 miles by its most recent test in August 2025. A minor wiper blade defect was noted in 2023 but was not a failure, and the only other advisory was an item removed from the driver's view in 2025. For a 2018 diesel van, the mileage is well below typical expectations, supporting a favourable value proposition.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Ford Transit Custom, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
