Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 3 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You need to carry tools or work equipment: this body type may suit. Confirm usable load space, payload and any commercial-use costs.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 3 people together: the advert records 3 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 20,760 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You regularly help children or passengers into the rear: fewer doors can make access awkward. Try your child seats and usual passenger routine before deciding.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The 2016 Transit Custom commonly uses Ford's 2.0-litre diesel with a manual gearbox and is built as a light commercial with L1/L2 length and H1/H2 roof variants — payload varies by spec but is typically around 1,000–1,400 kg. Diesel vans of this era often have DPF and EGR hardware that can clog if used mainly on short urban hops, and heavy-use vans commonly show wear to clutch and running gear. Commercial insurance and vehicle taxation are handled differently in Ireland, and many examples come with ply-lining, racking or aftermarket fitments that affect load space and condition.
- Clutch engagement and pedal feel for slipping or heavy wear (common on high-mileage manuals)
- DPF/EGR signs: excessive soot, recent regen history or smoke on startup—problematic if mainly used for short trips
- Rear suspension and springs for sagging (evidence of regular overloading)
- Cargo area: floor and anchor points for corrosion, repair patches, and integrity of any racking or bulkhead
- Side sliding door rollers and rear door hinges for smooth operation and wear/hinge corrosion
