Our Verdict
Highly recommended. This silver Transit Custom presents a very clean history with consistent mileage growth and a remarkably low number of MOT advisories.
Given the clean MOT record, your primary focus should be on the service history. Ensure the cambelt and water pump have been replaced or are scheduled for replacement, as these are critical maintenance items for the 2.0L diesel engine around this mileage mark.
Negotiate based on the remaining tyre tread and brake pad wear, as these are consumables not flagged in the most recent clean MOT. Check for any interior wear consistent with a commercial vehicle, as the mechanical health appears superior to many peers in this age bracket.
The 1995cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency under load, though costs will vary based on payload. You can expect competitive fuel economy for a van of this size, paired with a standard commercial vehicle tax bracket.
Insurance groups for the Transit Custom are generally mid-range, but costs will depend on your business use profile. Maintenance is typically affordable due to the wide availability of parts and specialist garages across the UK.
While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, pay close attention to the rear wheel bearings. A 'slight play' was noted on the offside rear in November 2023; verify that this was rectified and check the nearside rear for similar wear.
Inspect the silver paintwork for common commercial scuffs and check the load area for structural integrity. Finally, verify the operation of the electronics and infotainment system, as these are more common points of failure than the mechanical components on this specific vehicle.
This 2018 Ford Transit Custom is in excellent condition relative to its age, showing a steady increase in mileage from 29,541 in 2021 to 73,366 in late 2025. With only one minor advisory recorded across five years of MOTs, it suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained. The 2.0L diesel engine is a staple for this model, balancing load capacity with efficiency.
The Transit Custom is widely regarded as a robust workhorse, though specific aggregate data for this registration is not available.
