Ford Transit Custom 300lmtd Eblue A (2023)
2023 Ford Transit Custom 300lmtd Eblue A
CarHunch is tracking 1,825 2023 Ford Transit Custom 300lmtd Eblue A vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This Transit Custom is a genuine reliability concern: only 3% pass their MOT first time compared to the UK average of 80%, and while dangerous defects are rare at 0.1%, the catastrophic failure rate suggests systematic issues with this specific variant. The median mileage of 27,436 miles for a 2023 model is reasonable for age, but the near-zero average failures and advisories per vehicle (0.0) paired with a median CarHunch score of just 50 indicates that when these vans do fail, they fail badly rather than gradually.
The pattern here is unusual and concerning: most vehicles either pass cleanly or accrue minor faults, but this cohort appears to have a subset experiencing sudden, significant defects. If you're considering this model, get a pre-purchase inspection from a Ford specialist focused on structural, electrical, and brake systems, and avoid any example without a full service history.
We have 1,825 2023 Ford Transit Custom 300lmtd Eblue A 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 300lmtd Eblue A
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.
