A plan for your
next Ford Transit Custom.
Last updated 2 November 2026
A Transit Custom purchase can be a replacement for a single trades van, a vehicle for another member of the team or part of a wider fleet requirement. DCF can discuss the actual vehicle and supplier alongside your company’s funding preferences.
Start with how the van will be used. A panel van and a double cab serve different needs: check seating, load space and the vehicle’s plated payload against the people, tools and materials you need to carry. Specifications vary by generation and variant.

Understand the used vehicle
Ask for its registration, mileage, service history and specification. Compare the proposed term with the vehicle’s age and how long you expect to keep it.
Price the complete purchase
Check whether VAT, delivery, racking and any other preparation are included. Itemise additional costs so we can confirm what a lender may consider.
Specifications vary by year and variant. Confirm the exact vehicle with its supplier. View current manufacturer information

Then compare the full cost.
Hire purchase
Spread the purchase cost through agreed repayments. Ownership can pass to your company once all contractual payments and any option-to-purchase fee have been paid.
Compare the deposit, VAT due at the start, monthly payments, fees and any final payment together.
Finance lease
Your company uses the van in return for rentals while the finance provider retains ownership. Understand the initial rental, ongoing payments and end-of-term arrangements before signing.
Your accountant can help assess the tax and accounting treatment for your business.
Deposits, rates, terms and any guarantees depend on your company, the vehicle and the lender. Use our calculator for indicative payments, then request a personalised quotation for the vehicle you want to buy.

Your questions answered
Ford Transit Custom finance FAQs.
Can my limited company finance a used Ford Transit Custom?
Yes, DCF can explore used Transit Custom finance. The lender assesses your company, the van’s age, mileage, condition, value and seller. Send the listing or quotation and your preferred initial payment and term; approval and terms are subject to assessment.
Can I finance a Transit Custom double cab?
A double cab can be considered, subject to lender criteria. Tell us the exact variant, seating and intended business use. Vehicle classification and tax treatment should be checked for that particular vehicle with your accountant rather than assumed from the model name.
Can racking or a conversion be included in the finance?
Potentially. Ask for an itemised quotation for the van and any racking or conversion work. The lender needs to confirm eligible costs, supplier arrangements and whether any work must be completed before payment.
Does DCF have experience financing a Transit Custom?
Yes. Our published case study records a completed hire purchase transaction for a Ford Transit Custom bought by a construction business. It is an example of work completed, not a promise that another company will receive the same terms.
