You say 'preview', do you mean an unpublished page?

If you get your custom pages data using the generated code you 'll need to implement your own extension to get unpublished pages using something like:

CMS.DocumentEngine.DocumentHelper.GetDocuments<YourCustomType>();

instead of:

CMS.DocumentEngine.DocumentHelper.GetDocuments<YourCustomType>().PublishedVersion().Published();

Two things to check.

Did you set the presentation URL in Sites application for this site? Is that correct to the MVC site URL? (https://docs.kentico.com/k12/configuring-kentico/managing-sites/setting-domain-names-for-sites#Settingdomainnamesforsites-Settingthedomainforcontent-onlysites)
Make sure the URL pattern for the page type is correctly set as well. (https://docs.kentico.com/k12/developing-websites/defining-website-content-structure/creating-and-configuring-page-types/configuring-page-types/specifying-the-url-pattern-for-content-only-pages)
