Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those needing a
When inspecting this specific grey Transit Courier, your primary focus should be on the tyres. The 2025 MOT recorded both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit (1.6mm), so ensure these have been replaced or factor the cost into your negotiation.
Beyond the tyres, check the service history to ensure the 1.5L diesel engine has received regular oil changes, which is vital for Euro 6 engines. Given the low mileage relative to its age, check for any signs of age-related deterioration in rubber components or seals that can occur when a vehicle is driven less frequently.
As a 1499cc diesel, this vehicle is designed for efficiency, though actual fuel economy will depend on load and driving style. Being a Euro 6 engine, it is compliant with most UK Low Emission Zones, avoiding daily charges in many city centres.
Maintenance costs for the Transit Courier are generally predictable, though you should budget for consumables like tyres and brake pads, which are noted as common failure points for this model type. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, typically fall within a moderate range for a small commercial vehicle.
The most immediate item to inspect is the tread depth and condition of all four tyres, following the 2025 MOT advisory regarding the front edges. You should also check the headlights, as 'headlamp' issues are a top failure reason for this model aggregate.
Additionally, inspect the brake pads and discs. While no defects were recorded in the previous three tests, brake wear is a common issue for the Transit range. Finally, check the underside for any signs of excessive corrosion, though no structural failures have been noted in this vehicle's specific history.
This 2019 Ford Transit Courier is a diesel-powered small van with 32,363 miles recorded at its last MOT in September 2025. The vehicle has a consistent MOT history with no recorded failures over four years, though the most recent test flagged tyre wear issues. Compared to the model average of 11,513 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven significantly less than the typical example in this dataset.
The Ford Transit Courier shows a 79.4% average MOT pass rate across the 34,066 vehicles analysed, with tyres, headlamps, and brake pads being the most frequent reasons for issues.
