Why Ford Transits end up off the road
- Mk7 2.4 TDCi: injector seal leaks and turbo actuator failure
- Mk8 2.0 EcoBlue: wet belt degradation causing oil pickup blockage and engine failure
- DPF blockage on vans used for short urban runs
- Rear crossmember and sill corrosion on higher-mileage examples
- Clutch and dual-mass flywheel wear on multi-drop vans
Parts that still hold value
- Doors, tailgates and side loading doors in straight condition
- Gearbox and axle if the failure was engine-side
- Alternator, starter, steering rack and suspension legs
- Ply-lined bodies, racking and Luton boxes
- Wheels and part-worn commercial tyres
What moves the offer up or down
- Tippers, dropsides and Lutons carry more body value than a plain panel van
- Twin rear wheel chassis cabs are worth more in parts
- Euro 6 examples hold value better because they can still be used in ULEZ and CAZ areas
Common questions
- Will you buy a Transit with a blown wet belt engine?
- Yes. A failed 2.0 EcoBlue is one of the most common vans we collect. The rest of the van still has strong parts value, so it is usually worth more than scrap weight.
- Do you collect Transit tippers and Lutons?
- Yes, including twin rear wheel chassis cabs. Tell us the body type when you get your offer, because it affects the price.
