Ford Transit Custom 320lmtd Eblue A (2020)
2020 Ford Transit Custom 320lmtd Eblue A
CarHunch analysed 1,830 real MOT records for the 2020 Ford Transit Custom 320lmtd Eblue A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This Transit Custom is a solid performer: its 86.5% first-time pass rate beats the UK average of 80%, suggesting these vans are holding up well in their early years. The 14% dangerous defect rate is reasonably low, so structural or safety issues aren't a widespread concern for buyers.
At just under 48,000 miles median, these vans are running light for four-year-old commercial vehicles, which explains the low failure rate of 0.48 per vehicle. The advisory count of 2.2 per test points to minor wear rather than serious problems—typical for a working van—so budget for routine maintenance but don't expect major surprises.
What to check before buying a 2020 Ford Transit Custom 320lmtd 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.
