Junk.
Where to start? Brake rotors; twice. EGR valve, twice; water pump. I bought this van for it's carrying capacity and it can definitely take the weight I put in it...but it's just not worth the grey hair. It's one of the most unreliable vehicles I have ever owned. I used to like Fords...not anymore.
Load capacity. It has a barn doors option. It has very good rear visibility. Good fuel economy on the diesel.
Unreliable. It's a money pit. The standard jack included with my transit, won't lift the car high enough to change the tyre.

Terrible
It was bought 220,000kms it was ex courier van previous owner spent over $11,000 for repairs then me spent $15,000 dollars, because motor cost $7500, tail shaft replace $2200, coolant get hot from faulty temp does not work fan not on while traffic, We bought this van $10,000 and repairs total cost $26,000, wasted money for 4 years, RTA failed pass reg, I threw rubbish wrecker yard, Now I have no more own transport or car or van, I won't have own vehicle because no money left. For that money should have bought brand new toyota haice van for $26,...Read more
000 4 years ago today this haice van would be 90,000 kms and value as $21,000 as today. Warning to the buyers don't buy ford transit van over 60,000kms and part cost you 4 times more, because you have to exchange to UK english pound money of the value to buy parts from Ford. Forget transit. Most mechica said don't buy this, very expensive parts and rubbish plastics parts. Excellent for large loads and deliveries boxes, etc excellent for the festivals Ford Transit 1997 model to 2001 model very bad van, either 2002 to 2005 model, very bad mechicals, eats your money a lot, cost us $15,500 dollars repairs bills.

Excellent
i have 375000 klm on my 06 transit regular service never had a problem i am sure that a Japanese van would have died by now as i regularly have 1.5 ton in the back and another 1 ton on the trailer i have towed a xr Fairmont to every state in Australia and never broke down, i bet a smaller van would do that, i have been very happy with the van my wife drives it as well and loves it, keep up the good work ford thanks for a great van
turbo good view from the drivers seat, easy to park great tow car turbo diesel stand in the back with out bending over
bumpers should have been color coded, long way up to the drivers seat and i am 6 foot tall

I have 2007 transit 2.4 TDCI. It has developed a whistle which I’m thinking may be turbo/air intake related. Any clues? Also my clutch goes soft after heavy climbing returns to normal when not under this stress.

We also have 2007 Transit and has developed whistle. Mechanic tells me that it is leaking turbo gasket - not a problem to leave it for a while. Apparently is costly to replace due to time spent dismantling various components to get to it.

I fee you crazyvacguy. I got a WORTHLESS 2002 Ford Transit (biggest mistake of my life) for 12K with all log book and 200Kms. 1 month later the fuel pump died (4500 AUD repair cost), then again the ca... Read more
