Buying Tips for the 2017 Ford Transit Custom Mk1 pre-facelift (V362)

  • ✓Decide whether you want the earlier 2.2 TDCi simplicity or a late 2016-2017 Euro 6 EcoBlue van; they have very different ownership risks.
  • ✓Check clutch take-up, gearchange quality and driveline vibration fully warm, because tired ex-fleet vans often feel acceptable when cold.
  • ✓Inspect the load floor, bulkhead, sliding door runners and rear door hinges for abuse, as cosmetic tidiness in the cab can hide a brutal working life.
