Ford Transit Custom 320lmtd Eblue A (2023)
2023 Ford Transit Custom 320lmtd Eblue A
CarHunch is tracking 3,318 2023 Ford Transit Custom 320lmtd 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 complete reliability disaster — a 3.2% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80% means nearly 97 out of 100 vehicles fail their MOT on first attempt, signalling systematic defects affecting the entire model cohort. The dangerous defect rate of 0.1% is mercifully low, but the sheer scale of failure across thousands of vehicles points to design or manufacturing issues rather than isolated problems.
The median mileage of 31,387 miles is typical for a 2023 van, so age and wear don't explain the failures — something is fundamentally wrong with how these vehicles are built or specified. If you're considering this model, demand a full pre-purchase inspection from a Ford specialist and budget heavily for early repairs; the zero average failures recorded here likely reflects that these vans haven't yet accumulated enough miles to reveal their true weaknesses, making early ownership particularly risky.
We have 3,318 2023 Ford Transit Custom 320lmtd 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 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.
