Ford Transit Custom 280leader Eblue (2022)
2022 Ford Transit Custom 280leader Eblue
CarHunch analysed 1,976 real MOT records for the 2022 Ford Transit Custom 280leader Eblue. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This Transit Custom has a 84% first-time pass rate, which edges above the UK average of 80% and signals solid baseline reliability for a commercial vehicle of this age. The dangerous defect rate sits at just 5.2%, well below concerning levels, so structural and safety issues aren't a red flag here.
At just under 48,000 miles median, these vans are running at genuinely low mileage for two-year-old commercial stock, which explains the lean failure rate of 0.23 per vehicle. The 0.8 advisories per van suggest minor wear is creeping in—mostly consumables and small components—so budget for routine servicing and check brake condition and fluid levels closely on any example you're viewing.
What to check before buying a 2022 Ford Transit Custom 280leader Eblue
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
