Question 1

Can I drive a Ford Transit Custom on a car licence?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a standard category B licence covers vans up to 3,500 kg gross weight, which includes the Transit Custom. Towing a heavy trailer behind it can need extra entitlement.

Question 2

Do I pay VAT on a used Transit Custom van?

Accepted Answer

Often yes: dealers commonly sell used vans with 20% VAT added, which a VAT-registered business can reclaim. A van from a private seller, or sold under the margin scheme, shows no VAT.

Question 3

What is the difference between the Transit Custom and the Tourneo Custom?

Accepted Answer

The Transit Custom is the commercial van, with a load area, or a second seat row in the double-cab and Kombi versions. The Tourneo Custom is the passenger version, with more seats and a car-like interior.

Question 4

What should I check on a used Transit Custom van?

Accepted Answer

The load area and sliding doors for damage, the fixings of any racking or towbar, and the clutch on vans used for town deliveries. An ex-fleet van with a full dealer history is usually the safer buy.

Question 5

Is there an electric Ford Transit Custom?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the E-Transit Custom came with the second generation in 2024, beside a plug-in hybrid. The first generation also offered a plug-in hybrid, from 2019, with a small petrol range extender.
