Buying Tips for 2024 Ford Transit Custom Mk2 (V710)

  • ✓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.
