Bought mine April 2009 for £2,700, 105,000 on clock, ex-water board van. I have covered nearly 20,000 with 1 new clutch did not replace DMF as recommended, but no problems as yet. Lots of long distance driving will get 530 miles to tank, 39 mpg average now converted to camper van, found it like a car to drive and hope to get many more miles yet. Reading some of reviews Ford seem an unhelpful lot, we will see.

Van was always ok but have had starter motor problems since the day I bought the van 3 now going on 4, even changing clutch and flywheel. Just hitting the 100k mark now and everything seems to be giving up ie. water heater, exhaust etc. I just don’t think Transits are as good as they used to be, having only bought them, now considering going to another make. Value for money and fuel consumption has never been great but I suppose it’s bought and paid for itself, except for faulty starter motors but avoid transits from 00 - 03

The Ford Transit is one of the best vans on the road, best engines too. Vauxhalls and Renaults etc., have common problems with the engines and always seem to let out smoke. Transits have the American muscle and they are really reliable. Also, parts are cheap unlike all other vans. My advice? Buy the Transit.

Well, apart from the new clutch, fly wheel, starter, rust all over the place, door locks droping off and now an electrical problem amonst other things. Don’t all vans have problems?

We have had the 2002 Transit Tourneo for 3 years. No major problems although engine did cut off a few times (cylinder head cut of sensor saved our engine) and then we found out it was the water pump - pump and egr valve replaced at same time plus the usual wheel bearings. Brakes are excellent and last well, as do tyres. The abs light comes on and off for some reason as cant find any faults with it. It can rust in strange areas; like the top of the windscreen on early models like mine before they removed the rubber along the top. Very good on fuel; 470 miles per tank approximately. I was going to change to a Renault Trafic minibus but changed my mind after looking at their reviews.
