Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a commercial vehicle with a consistent MOT record. The lack of recorded defects in recent years suggests a stable history, though physical inspection remains essential.
When inspecting this 2.2L diesel Transit, prioritise checking the service history for regular oil changes, which is critical for the Eco-Tech engine. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, you should still verify the condition of the turbocharger and fuel system, as these are common areas of concern on high-mileage diesel vans.
Negotiate based on the actual wear of the interior and load area, as MOT records do not reflect the condition of the van's cargo space or cab upholstery. Ensure the timing belt (cambelt) has been replaced according to Ford's recommended intervals, as this is a significant maintenance item for this engine size.
As a 2198cc heavy oil vehicle, fuel costs will depend heavily on annual mileage and load weight. Being a 2016 model, tax bands will vary depending on the specific CO2 emissions, so check the exact VED rating before purchase.
Insurance groups for the Transit Custom vary widely based on driver profile, but as a commercial vehicle, it is wise to get multiple quotes. Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though parts for the Eco-Tech engine can be more expensive than older non-turbo variants.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle; although the MOT history from 2022 to 2025 shows no defects, commercial vans are prone to corrosion in the chassis and suspension components. Check the brake pads and discs, as well as the condition of the tyres, which are common wear items not always captured in a 'pass' result.
Given the 76,235 miles recorded, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension or drivetrain during a test drive. Specifically, check for any signs of leaks around the engine bay or gearbox, as the MOT test is a snapshot in time and may not reveal slow-developing fluid leaks.
This 2016 Ford Transit Custom 270 Eco-Tech has covered 76,235 miles since its first registration in April 2016. The MOT history shows four consecutive passes since 2022, with no recorded defects or failures in the most recent tests. For a diesel-powered van of this age, the mileage appears to be consistent with typical commercial usage patterns.
Aggregate MOT data is not available for this specific Ford Transit Custom 270 Eco-Tech variant to provide a statistical reliability rating.
