As a seasoned mechanic with 15 years under my belt, I've encountered my fair share of starter motor problems, particularly in popular models like the Ford Transit Custom (2012 to present). The starter motor is a pivotal component that triggers the engine to start running. If it falters, your van might refuse to start, leaving you stranded with potential delays in your plans and schedules.
If the starter motor in your Ford Transit Custom is on its last legs, you’ll likely notice several telltale signs. These include a clicking noise when turning the key, a sluggish start, or the dreadful silence and non-response when attempting to start the vehicle. Typically, these issues could be attributed to a range of causes from a faulty electrical connection, worn-out components, a dead battery, or more commonly in older vehicles, outright motor failure.
Repairing the starter motor of a Ford Transit Custom involves several steps that can be quite intricate. Initially, a thorough diagnostic test is run to identify the exact cause of the trouble. If the starter motor is to blame, replacing it can be labor-intensive and costly, especially factoring in the cost of parts and labor. For a Ford Transit Custom (2012 to present), you're looking at a process that might involve removing significant components just to access the starter motor, which is time-consuming and costly.
Sometimes, the ongoing maintenance, combined with the repair costs of an aging vehicle, can make you question whether it’s worthwhile to keep the van.

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.

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.
