Our Verdict
This 2018 Ford Transit Custom offers good value for money but requires careful inspection of brake components and tyres. Its recent MOT history shows recurring minor issues that may indicate developing maintenance needs.
Prioritise a full brake system inspection, focusing on discs and pads that have shown wear in previous MOTs. Check for consistent oil leak sources and verify the vehicle's service history for any unresolved issues. Negotiate based on the need for potential brake component replacements. Be cautious of the tyre condition, as multiple warnings about wear and damage have appeared in recent MOTs. Confirm the vehicle's history for any accident records not visible in MOT data.
Diesel fuel economy for the 2.0L turbodiesel engine is typically 35-40 mpg, resulting in £1,000-£1,200 annual fuel costs for 10,000 miles. Road tax is £0 for diesel vans registered after 2017. Insurance groups for commercial vans vary but typically fall in the mid-range. Routine maintenance costs average £300-£500 annually for brake services and tyre replacements. Estimated annual running cost: £1,500-£1,800.
Focus on the brake system: check for uneven disc wear, thin pads, and potential caliper issues that may cause uneven braking. Inspect all tyres for wear patterns, cracks, or damage that could indicate alignment problems. Examine the engine bay for oil leaks, particularly around the timing cover and valve seals. Check the windscreen for hidden damage that may affect visibility. Verify the vehicle's history for any major accidents or structural issues not disclosed in MOT records.
The vehicle has a mixed MOT history with recurring brake wear and tyre issues, though it has passed all tests. At 84,595 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for a 7-year-old van. While no major defects have been recorded, the pattern of brake disc/pad wear and oil leaks suggests proactive maintenance is essential.
While no aggregate data exists for this specific model, the Ford Transit Custom is generally regarded as a reliable commercial vehicle when properly maintained.
