2023 Ford Transit Custom 320actve Eblu A

CarHunch is tracking 113 2023 Ford Transit Custom 320actve Eblu 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 red flag: only 2.6% of vehicles pass first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, which means something is systemically wrong with this batch or specification. No dangerous defects have been recorded, but the catastrophic fail rate suggests either a widespread mechanical issue or a testing/registration anomaly that needs urgent investigation before purchase.

With an average mileage of 28,166 miles at just one year old, these vans are running relatively low, so the failures aren't simply wear-and-tear stories. The complete absence of recorded failures and advisories in the data (0.0 per vehicle) combined with the near-total fail rate is contradictory and suggests the MOT records may be incomplete or there's a data quality issue. Before committing to this model, contact Ford directly and request specific details on what's causing the failures—don't rely on this data alone.

What to check before buying a 2023 Ford Transit Custom 320actve Eblu 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.
