New Ford Transit Vans for Sale

This is my third Transit and I wouldn't buy anything else. Done 112k miles in five years and it's still going strong. The 2.0 EcoBlue engine is fantastic - powerful and economical. Getting about 38 MPG which is impressive for a big van. Load space is massive, can fit anything in there. Parts are cheap and every garage can work on them. Drives well, comfortable enough for long journeys. It's the default choice for a reason - they just work.

Been using this Transit for removals for three years. It's been really reliable - only had to replace brake pads and tyres so far. The engine has plenty of power even when fully loaded. Fuel economy is good, usually get 35-40 MPG depending on how heavy the load is. The high roof version means we can stack furniture properly. Resale values are strong which is reassuring. Would definitely recommend.

The newer Transits are so much better than the old ones. This one has all the modern tech - reversing camera, parking sensors, cruise control. Makes life so much easier. The SYNC 3 system works well with Apple CarPlay. Engine is smooth and quiet. Handling is surprisingly good for such a big van. Load space is excellent with the LWB model. Running costs are reasonable. Very impressed overall.

I’ve run a Ford Transit on site work for years. Solid van overall, carries the gear no problem, but the DPF is a nightmare if you’re not doing long runs. Mine started giving me the DPF light at about 100k miles. Around town it clogs up quick – you lose power, it drinks more diesel, and it feels like you’re pulling a trailer when you’re not. Had it cleaned once, cost me a fair bit, and a year later the same issue came back. On the motorway it clears itself better, but for builders like me who are in and out of jobs local, it’s a pain. Other than the DPF problem, the Transit’s decent – comfy cab, loads of room in the back, cheap enough for parts. But if you’re buying one used, I’d check the history and see if the DPF’s been sorted, or budget for it.

I convert vans into campervans and the Transit is one of my favourites to work with. The L3H3 model gives you loads of height and length to play with. The body panels are easy to work with and there's good aftermarket support for parts. It's been reliable mechanically - 67,000 miles and only routine maintenance needed. The 2.0 EcoBlue engine is strong enough even when fully loaded after conversion. Fuel economy isn't amazing at around 32-34 MPG but that's expected for a big van. Build quality is solid. The only thing is it can feel a bit agricultural compared to a Sprinter, but you're paying a lot less. For conversion work, you can't go wrong with a Transit.
