When it comes to the Ford Transit (2006 to 2013) model, the starter motor is a critical component that can cause headaches for van owners. As a mechanic with over 15 years of experience, I've come across several instances where issues with the starter motor could lead to further complications if not addressed properly.
The starter motor in your Ford Transit serves the vital role of setting your engine in motion when you turn the key. A failing starter can present several symptoms that should prompt immediate attention. These include hearing a clicking sound when turning the key, the engine not turning over, or intermittent issues with starting the van. Commonly, problems can be traced back to a few root causes like a faulty ignition switch, a deteriorating starter motor, or electrical connections that have worn out or become corroded over time.
Repairing the starter motor of a Ford Transit typically involves testing the existing starter to confirm a fault, replacing it if necessary, and ensuring that all electrical connections are secure and corrosion-free. It’s essential to use high-quality parts to avoid further issues. Sometimes, the complexity and location of the starter motor might require disassembling parts of the engine bay, which can increase the labor time and costs.
Considering the age of the Ford Transit (2006 to 2013), you might wonder if repairing a faulty starter motor is the best course of action. Frequent repairs can be costly, and reliability is crucial, especially if you depend on your van for work. Instead of facing ongoing maintenance issues, have you considered selling your current vehicle?

This means quick, hassle-free service right to your doorstep, avoiding further repairs and downtime. Whether you decide to repair or sell, contacting us for a quote might clarify your decision with real numbers, considering the instant payment we offer for your van.
Ask yourself this: is the cost of repair worth it, or is it time to consider an upgrade by selling your old van and potentially investing in a newer, more reliable vehicle?

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 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.
