IS the Ford Transit Courier van any good?
Looking for a Used van and not to sure what to buy?
Drop a comment on your thoughts on the Transit courier?
We have several like these as the basic and Trend version at the company where I work. I even bought one from 2016, 246 000 km wich was written off in spring of this year because of 2000 euros repair costs (headlights, parking brake mailfunction and tyres) Repaired it cheap and drove it from Belgium to Stockholm, Sweden and back without any problems on a camping trip. I had more work with removing the advertising and cleaning than actually make the car road worthly again. The extra costs I've made was installing a towhook, side winddeflectors and roofbars and a new emergency kit with jack from Ford for keeping the equipment original.
Because we have at work more than 15 Couriers from 2015 to 2023 (even one with a petrol engine and 2 as a Tourneo 5 seater minivan), I can say that the pre-facelift ones have better build quality. The last one is 1 month old and there also another one in order.
The Sport version has only red stitching and aluminium rims as a difference than the Trend version, that's all, no difference in build quality or options. If you like this, buy one, but for me it is not worth the extra price, If I want a Sport version, the engine should have more horsepower than the basic versions, not only fake trim. Rather having a slow looking car that's fast, than a fast looking car that is actually slow.
We have also other brands as vans, but not so many as Fords. Even my direct boss says that Fords drives better, sits better and needs less expensive repairs on their lifetime. There are some old Couriers wich I tought they would'nt make it until the end of this year, but they are still driving.
Fords costs more, but they are worth it. I drive mine now every day for going to work and groceries. My previous car is now the vehikel for visiting family in the weekend.
I even bought recently a second one of the same year wich was written off because of an accident in Brussels. Bumper, headlights, engine bonnet broken. Radiator moved slighty backwards, but no leakages. It was towed to our Ford dealer, when I first saw the wreck at the garage, I knew that the cost were higher than it was on mine Transit. I drove it from the garage to work after I removed al of the loose hanging parts. And when I finally decided that I could used it as spare parts. I even drove it 20 kms to my house without any problems. Because these two cars I now have are bought new by the company and serviced at the dealer. I have the complete history of maintenance and repairs over 7 years.
These cars are though, can take beat and still get you home.
Tip: Try to find one with a docking station for your Phone instead of the radio with a big screen. Then there is an extra storage space with USB-charger and audio connection above the classic Ford radio with USB, so you don't have to buy a seperate phoneholder. We have these only at our oldest models.
Literally just got mine delivered today! Same spec as this just grey and with a roof rack. Can’t fault it 👍🏽
