The Ford Transit has been a favourite van of UK tradespeople since it came off the production line in 1965. The name “Transit Van” is as famous as the Ford name itself. It is the best selling light commercial vehicle with well over 1 million registered vans on UK roads in 2024.
The Ford Transit Custom is a variant of the Transit range and is classed as a panel van. It has been in production since 2012 and is available new and used. There have so far been two generations (marks) with the latest second generation introduced in 2023.
As new there are two types of powertrains available as front wheel drive, diesel and petrol hybrid. They come with a 6 speed manual or 8 speed automatic gearbox. There is also an E-Transit Custom launching in 2024 (currently delayed).
The used Custom market has plenty of options and from 2016 was ULEZ Euro 6 compliant for diesel engines using Ecoblue technology. Van insurance tends to be more expensive than car insurance so a tip would be to invest in a van that doesn't have a really powerful engine. We have picked a 2017 van worth £10,000 to run two quotes for a 26 year old and 55 year old self-employed electrician with a limited company. The insurance grouping of the transit depends on the size, weight and engine power and ranges between groups 23-50 (set by the ABI, Association of British Insurers).
