Ford Transit Custom Mk2 (V710) Problems by Year
The all-new V710 Transit Custom is a thoroughly modern, highly digital van featuring vastly improved packaging, independent rear suspension, and a car-like, software-driven cabin. Positioned as the market leader in the UK, it appeals to modern tradespeople, fleets, and lifestyle buyers wanting advanced safety tech and comfort. Because used examples are still very young, the biggest risks are early-production electrical niggles, weak 12V battery health, and whether crucial Ford software update campaigns have been completed. It is perfect for those needing a cutting-edge, ULEZ-compliant commercial vehicle.

- ✓Ensure all manufacturer software updates and recalls have been completed, as early models suffered from various electronic glitches.
- ✓Check for 'deep sleep' mode warnings or a flat 12V battery; the extensive electronics can drain the battery quickly if the van isn't driven regularly.
- ✓Verify the operation of the large central touchscreen, particularly the climate controls which are now integrated into the screen.
- ✓Inspect the independent rear suspension for any unusual knocks or settling issues when loaded, though it generally offers a vastly superior ride.
- ✓On diesel models, continue to monitor AdBlue usage and ensure the correct low-ash oil is used for servicing.
- ✓Check the innovative 'mobile office' steering wheel (if fitted) to ensure the folding mechanism is robust and not damaged.
