Used transits for 30 years.
Getting a new one in two months ( coincide with vat quarter)
I've had 7 now, from the old DI 2 litre taxi engine, a 2.3 petrol LPG, through to the 150hp licence loser I have now. In that time, all did well over 120,000 miles and not one ever had a major component fail. Other than tyres, batteries and servicing.
The mk7 I have now seems to suffer from rust in front of the rear wheels and above the windscreen. Other than that it's been a great van.
Will be selling it in two months, looking trade in is about £3000. If anyone wants it, pm me. 2.4 diesel lwb 3.5 ton. 102,000 miles.
