The Transit is a good van mechanically, but the bodies are trash and prone to rust. Certainly anything up to 11 plate was. The mk8 fromm14 onwards had poor security, apparently you could stick a screwdriver in the lock and easily open the doors, also the hinges were very poor. If you still decide to get one, get one with the six speed gearbox as they are better on fuel,
I had a 07 plate which was heavy on fuel and a rot box, but a nice drive. I now have a Vauxhall Vivaro 1:6 bi turbo which is great.
