Ford Transit Custom.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Ford Transit Custom is Britain's most popular mid-size van, favoured by tradespeople and fleet operators for its blend of load capacity, driving refinement, and reasonable running costs. Built in Turkey since 2012, it competes directly with the Volkswagen Transporter and Mercedes Vito. While generally dependable, high-mileage examples and those used for frequent short trips can develop specific mechanical issues that buyers need to check carefully before committing.
