As a seasoned master technician with over fifteen years of experience in the field, I've encountered numerous cases involving the Ford Transit models spanning from 2006 to 2013. These vans are praised for their robustness and utility but are not exempt from engine wear and tear that may warrant a closer look at a reconditioned engine solution.
The core issue with the Ford Transit's engine from these years often ties back to high mileage and regular wear. Symptoms that might indicate a deeper problem include unusual noises, such as knocking or rattling, reduced engine performance, and excessive oil consumption. Additionally, smoke from the exhaust or a frequent need to top up coolant could be a sign of engine distress.
Addressing the issues typically begins with a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint specific problems. For a Ford Transit (2006 to 2013) reconditioned engine, the process can involve replacing key components like the crankshaft, bearings, or even the entire engine block. Each part must meet precise specifications to ensure the engine runs like new. Despite this rigorous process, it requires significant investment in terms of time and money.
Have you thought about the broader picture? Sometimes, the cost of repairing and reconditioning an older vehicle like a Ford Transit can closely tally up to, or exceed, the value of the vehicle itself. This is where considering an alternative like selling your van might be a wise decision.
Vandervan simplifies this process remarkably. You can obtain a quote for your vehicle in a mere 30 seconds, and if you decide to proceed, we can arrange for next-day collection from any location in the UK. More so, Vandervan ensures that payment is instantly transferred to an account of your choice. Dealing with an older vehicle can often be more hassle than it’s worth, and sometimes, starting fresh with a new van is a more economical and stress-free solution.
If you are considering exchanging your old van for a newer model, explore our offerings or reach out through our contact page. At Vandervan, we are committed to providing our expertise and ensuring you can make the best decision whether to fix or flip your vehicle. Trust our experience and let us help you move forward with ease.
Remember, investing in a vehicle should always bring peace of mind and value; don't let repair costs tip the scales unfavorably. Consider all aspects, and when in doubt, talk to the professionals at Vandervan. We're here to help at every turn!

Yes, you can indeed sell your financed van with vandervan even if it's under a Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement.
If you decide to sell your financed van, the initial step is to obtain a 'settlement figure' from your lender, which you can usually find in a settlement letter. Following that, get a valuation for your van.
Our team will walk you through the settlement process.
We do not charge any fees. There are no admin charges or anything like that. Just your van, your money, instantly.
By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.
This can often result in a more favourable price compared to part exchange, where you might find yourself confined to a single dealer’s assessment, which might not accurately represent the real market value of your van.
Part exchanges often result in less favourable outcomes for sellers, particularly if the dealer is not intending to retail your van and plans to pass it along instead.
However, with our van buying service, you stand a better chance of obtaining a great price.
The process with us is quick and straightforward. Simply start with a free valuation and contrast this with your part exchange offer. You might be delighted to find how much more you could get from using our service than you’d get from a part exchange!

We buy any van, literally. Every van has a value, new or old, running or not.
We buy any van make or model, and any body type. Get a valuation today and see if we can help you sell your van.
Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
