Ford Transit Custom 300 Trail Eblue (2023)
2023 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trail Eblue
CarHunch is tracking 375 2023 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trail Eblue vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2023 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trail eBLUE is failing its MOT at a catastrophic rate—just 3.1% pass on first attempt versus the UK average of 80%—making it by far the least reliable vehicle in its cohort. The silver lining is that dangerous defects are absent (0%) and actual failures average only 0.01 per vehicle, suggesting most rejections are minor rectifiable issues rather than fundamental safety problems.
At 52,000 miles average for a 2023, these vans are running at normal mileage for their age, yet something systemic is causing repeated test failures. The near-zero advisory count (0.0) and minimal failure rate point to a specific pattern—likely emissions-related or a known test-centre issue—rather than widespread mechanical decay. Before buying, get an independent inspection and ask the seller or dealer exactly what's failing at MOT and why the retest pass rate remains so poor.
We have 375 2023 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trail Eblue vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Ford Transit Custom 300 Trail 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.
