Key Specifications
- Payload: Typically ranges from 800kg (L1H1) to 1459kg (340 models).
- Load Volume: Short wheelbase (L1) offers approximately 6.0 m³, long wheelbase (L2) offers around 6.8 m³. High roof (H2) options increase this further.
- Dimensions (L1H1): Length approx. 4.97m, Width (excl. mirrors) approx. 1.99m, Height approx. 2.0m.
- Engine Options: Predominantly 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engines (from 2016 onwards) in various power outputs (105 PS, 130 PS, 170 PS, 185 PS). Earlier models (pre-2016) used 2.2-litre TDCi engines.
- Euro Standard: Post-2016 2.0L EcoBlue engines are Euro 6 compliant. Earlier 2.2L engines are typically Euro 5.
What to Look For When Buying Used
While generally reliable, here are specific areas to scrutinise:
- DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): Essential for Euro 6 models. Check for dash warning lights or a history of DPF-related issues, often caused by frequent short journeys. Regeneration cycles are crucial.
- Timing Belt/Chain: 2.0L EcoBlue engines use a wet timing belt, designed for 150,000 miles or 10 years. Ensure proof of replacement if past due, as failure is catastrophic. 2.2L TDCi engines have a timing chain, generally more robust but still check for rattling noises.
- Transmission: Manual gearboxes are standard. Check for smooth changes and clutch slip. The 6-speed automatic (TorqShift) is generally reliable but ensure smooth operation.
- Rust Spots: Common areas include door sills, around the rear lights, and along the bottom edges of doors, particularly older, harder-working examples.
- Suspension & Brakes: Listen for knocks over bumps (suspension bushes) and check brake disc/pad wear. Heavy loads can accelerate wear.
- Electrics: Test all electrics, including infotainment (if fitted), windows, and central locking.
Running Costs for Businesses
- Typical Insurance: Insurance groups typically range from 33-40 for Custom models. Expect annual premiums from £600 to £1,500+, heavily dependent on driver history, location, and usage.
- Fuel Economy: 2.0L EcoBlue engines offer impressive economy for their class. Expect real-world combined figures of 35-45 mpg depending on load, driving style, and power output.
- Servicing: Main dealer servicing can be pricey. Independent specialists often offer better value. Major services typically every 2 years or 30,000 miles, with intermediate services annually or 18,000 miles.
- ULEZ/CAZ Compliance: All 2.0L EcoBlue Euro 6 diesel models (from approx. late 2016 onwards) are compliant with London ULEZ and other UK Clean Air Zones, avoiding daily charges. Older Euro 5 models are not compliant.
Is the Ford Transit Custom Right For Your Business?
The Ford Transit Custom is an excellent choice for businesses requiring a reliable, versatile, and comfortable medium-sized van. It suits:
- Tradespeople: Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, with ample load space and roof rack compatibility.
- Delivery Services: Excellent manoeuvrability and driver comfort for urban and long-distance routes.
- Mobile Service Providers: Ideal for custom conversions or carrying tools and equipment.
Consider alternatives if:
- You need significantly more load volume (e.g., Ford Transit L3/L4, Mercedes Sprinter).
- Your budget is extremely tight (e.g., smaller vans like Connect, Berlingo).
- Your usage is exclusively short urban trips, where a fully electric van might be more economical (e.g., E-Transit Custom).
