Experiencing a startup failure in your van can be frustrating, especially when it's something as robust and generally reliable as the Ford Transit Courier (2014 to present). My years of experience working on these vehicles have equipped me with insight into the common causes and solutions for when these vehicles refuse to start.
When your Ford Transit Courier won't start, the problem can range widely from simple to complex issues. It's crucial to observe the symptoms closely to narrow down the potential causes. Typical signs include a silent starter, the engine cranking without firing, or the dashboard lighting up without engine activity.
Here are a few common reasons why your Ford Transit Courier might not be starting:
The repair process typically begins with a thorough inspection to diagnose the exact cause of the issue. Depending on the diagnosis, solutions might range from replacing the battery, repairing the starter motor, servicing the fuel system, or fixing the ignition components. Occasionally, more in-depth electrical diagnostics and repairs may be required if the issue is complex.
Repeated issues can become a source of inconvenience and financial drain. Sometimes, the cost of continuous repairs, especially in older models, can outweigh the benefits of keeping the vehicle. Have you considered how selling your Ford Transit Courier could be a more straightforward, economical decision?
At Vandervan, you can receive a quote within seconds and could have your vehicle collected as soon as the next day from anywhere in the UK. Selling your van could free you up to invest in a newer, more reliable model with lower running costs and less downtime. We make the selling process smooth and swift, with immediate payment into your account of choice. Why not explore your options and see if this is the right move for you?
While a Ford Transit Courier is an excellent van, persistent start-up issues can mar its reliability. If you feel you're spending too much time in the repair shop, consider getting in touch with us at Vandervan. It could be the fresh start both you and your business need.
For more information on diagnosing or repairing start issues, or to discuss how you can smoothly transition from your current van to another, feel free to contact us.

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.
