The 2020 Ford Transit Custom 340 PHEV is a reliably built van—its 88.4% first-time pass rate sits 8.4 points ahead of the UK average, and dangerous defects are rare at just 3.5% of vehicles. Owner maintenance is generally good, with low failure rates averaging 0.37 per vehicle.

If you're buying one, prioritise a full service history and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the plug-in hybrid battery and cooling system, which can be expensive to repair outside warranty.
What to check before buying a 2020 Ford Transit Custom 340ltd PHEV CVT
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.
