Ford Transit Custom (2022)
2022 Ford Transit Custom
CarHunch analysed 546 real MOT records for the 2022 Ford Transit Custom. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Ford Transit Custom is a solid performer, with an 85.9% first-time pass rate that sits comfortably above the UK average of 80%, and only 6.6% of vehicles ever showing a dangerous defect—well below the threshold that would raise serious buyer concerns. The diesel variants (which make up virtually the entire cohort) all maintain that same 85.9% pass rate, so fuel type isn't a reliability differentiator here.
At 40,221 miles average for a two-year-old van, these are light-to-medium use vehicles, which helps explain the low failure rate of 0.3 per vehicle and modest advisory count of 0.8 per vehicle. If you're buying one, check the service history and inspect brakes and suspension closely, as these are where Transit Customs typically pick up advisories—a quick pre-purchase inspection will catch any wear before it becomes expensive.
What to check before buying a 2022 Ford Transit Custom
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.
