This is how a flagged record appears in a report. Hard-worked vans hide more than a clean panel suggests, so this is the part that matters before you pay.

What a Ford Transit Custom history check helps you spot.
A van that looks tidy on the forecourt can still carry finance, a wound-back odometer or a repaired write-off. These are the checks that surface it.
High trade mileage
A favourite trade van that works hard. The MOT history confirms the real mileage.
Outstanding finance
Commonly bought on finance. Confirm there is nothing left to settle.
Theft target
Popular vans are stolen and tool theft is common. Check the police record.
Ford Transit Custom history check
Why a used Transit Custom is worth checking.
The Transit Custom has become one of the best-selling vans in the country, the mid-size workhorse of choice for tradespeople and a popular base for campervan conversions. That popularity means a deep used market and plenty of variation in how hard each van has worked.
A van this common is also a theft target and a frequent finance purchase. A history check by registration shows the finance, mileage and write-off record, so you can tell a cared-for example from a hammered one before you commit.
Risks to check on a used Ford Transit Custom.
These are the specific things worth confirming before you put any money down.
Clocking on a hard-worked van
Trade vans cover big miles, and a lower reading lifts the price. The MOT mileage history is the reliable way to confirm the figure on the dash is genuine.
Outstanding finance
The Custom is commonly bought on business finance. An agreement that was not settled stays with the van, so the finance check protects you from inheriting it.
Theft and break-ins
Popular vans are stolen and targeted for the tools inside. The police stolen marker is quick to confirm against the registration.
MOT advisories and wear
Loaded daily miles wear the van fast. The MOT history, including advisories, gives early warning of the bigger jobs.

Import checkBefore you buy
When to run a Transit Custom history check.
Run the check before you pay a deposit, whether the van is for the trade or for a conversion project. The finance and mileage results are the two to confirm first.
If you are converting, knowing the base van has no outstanding finance and a clean mileage record protects the money you are about to invest in it.
