Transit TDCi 2198 cc, 85ps, 124k, 12m mot, 5 doors. Says geniune miles but doesn`t say FSH asking £2995
 
check everywhere for rust,they fall to bits quite young other than that quite good mechanically ,however landy defenders use the same lump and have had engine issues 2.0 durotorque is much better

Check front bulkhead roughly where your feet go, low down in the footwell.
Usually gaping holes appear there
 
I wont buy a transit due to the rust issue, unless its brand new wouldn't buy one, vivaro\traffic for me
sound like a good deal, need to give it a real good look over though, and test drive, and take it you your mechanic to cast an eye over is always worth while its better to pay
 
I'd honestly try and stick to the old shape if you were looking at that age and price mate, should be able to get a good 06 or 56 plate for that with less miles and they arr much tougher. .so I hear anyway ☺
 
Ive also spoke to a mechanic guy who works at our local ford dealer, and even he says fordys have fair fell by waistside to what they used to be, when i was lookin to purchase a van 2 months ago i recieved so much mixed reviews that at end of day all vans have an element of shizer, so as long as your happy rpm go for it, i drove a v reg van for years its only recently ive went newer as sick of older vans being money pits,
 
Personally I would not waste my money on the newer transits complete rot boxes..brum
