Ford Transit Custom Mk1 pre-facelift (V362) Problems by Year
The original Transit Custom made the mid-size van class feel much more car-like, but surviving UK examples are usually hard-worked ex-fleet vehicles. Early 2.2 TDCi vans are mechanically simpler than the later Euro 6 EcoBlue versions, so the best buy depends on whether you value simplicity or emissions compliance.

- ✓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.
