- Engine Options (Post-2018 facelift):

- 75PS, 100PS, 120PS.
- Highly efficient, standard across most models.
- 1.0L EcoBoost Petrol:
- 100PS. Less common, but good for lower mileage/urban use.

What to Look For When Buying Used
- Common Faults:
- DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) Issues: Like many modern diesels, DPFs can clog, especially on vehicles used primarily for short, urban journeys. An illuminated DPF warning light is a red flag.
- Injectors/Fuel System (Diesel): Listen for unusual engine noises or hesitation. Check service history for fuel filter replacements.
- Timing Belt (1.5L EcoBlue): The 1.5L EcoBlue engine uses a 'wet belt' design, which runs in oil. While durable, ensure the recommended service intervals (typically 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first) for replacement have been adhered to. Budget around £600-£900 for this job at an independent specialist.
- Electrics: Minor electrical gremlins with infotainment or central locking aren't unheard of. Test all functions.
- Bodywork & Rust: Pay close attention to wheel arches, sills, and around door hinges for early signs of rust, particularly on older or neglected examples. Check the load bay for excessive damage from previous cargo.
- Service History: A full, documented service history is paramount. Look for evidence of regular oil changes using the correct specification lubricant, crucial for engine longevity, especially with wet belt designs.
- Check for Van-Specific Damage: Look for dents, scratches, and worn interior plastics – common in working vehicles. Check the condition of the bulkhead and load liner.
Running Costs for Businesses
- Insurance (Group): Transit Connects typically fall into commercial insurance groups 30-40 (out of 50). Premiums for businesses can range from £400-£800+ annually, depending on driver age, location, and No Claims Discount.
- Fuel Economy:
- 1.5L EcoBlue Diesel (100PS): Expect a real-world combined MPG of 45-55, potentially higher on motorway runs.
- 1.0L EcoBoost Petrol (100PS): Expect 35-45 MPG in mixed driving.
- Servicing: Main dealer fixed-price servicing for a minor service is typically £180-£250, major servicing £300-£450. Independent garages will be more competitive.
- ULEZ/CAZ Compliance: All Euro 6 compliant Transit Connects (generally post-September 2016) are exempt from ULEZ (London) and most other UK Clean Air Zone (CAZ) charges. Always double-check using the vehicle's registration on the relevant council websites.
Is the Ford Transit Connect Right For Your Business?
The Ford Transit Connect is an ideal choice for:
- Small tradespeople: Electricians, plumbers, decorators.
- Delivery drivers: Especially parcel or small item delivery thanks to its compact size.
- Urban businesses: Its manoeuvrability and relatively small footprint are excellent for city driving.
- Businesses requiring a blend of capacity and car-like handling.
Alternatives to consider:
- Vauxhall Combo/Peugeot Partner/Citroën Berlingo: These PSA Group vans offer similar practicality and fuel efficiency.
