Ford Transit 2017

A particularly useful and well-equipped Ford Transit 350, fitted with an aluminium dropside body & Penny Hydraulics PH150 mounted crane, making this an ideal working vehicle for building, engineering, utilities, plant or general lifting applications.

This Transit is powered by the 2.2-litre TDCi diesel engine with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Importantly for a vehicle of this type, it is accompanied by an exceptionally comprehensive history file, documenting servicing, maintenance and repairs throughout its working life. The records include Ford Digital Service Record entries alongside extensive supporting invoices and inspection documentation.

The vehicle has clearly been maintained as a working fleet vehicle, with recent expenditure including a 120,000-mile service in April 2026, together with MOT preparation, while further documented work includes replacement of the turbo pressure sensor and associated boost-system pipes. Other recent maintenance includes oil sump/timing cover work, replacement wiper motor and mirror repairs.

Of particular interest is the Penny Hydraulics PH150 crane, which offers a useful combination of reach and lifting capacity and folds neatly behind the cab when not in use. The installation is complemented by hydraulic stabiliser/outrigger legs, helping provide a stable platform during lifting operations. The history file also contains lifting-equipment examination documentation, demonstrating that the specialist equipment has formed part of the vehicle's ongoing maintenance programme.

The aluminium dropside load body provides a large, easily accessible working area, with removable/folding sides and numerous load securing points. As the photographs show, both the body and crane display the cosmetic marks and wear expected of a genuine working commercial vehicle, but the overall presentation is entirely appropriate for its age, mileage and intended use.

Inside, the Transit has the practical three-seat cab, manual gearbox, multifunction steering wheel and the familiar hard-wearing Ford commercial interior. The cab similarly shows normal working wear rather than having been cosmetically disguised for sale.

The history is a particular strength of this vehicle. Records supplied with it show maintenance extending back through its working life, including Ford dealer servicing and numerous invoices for mechanical and ancillary repairs. Earlier documentation also records servicing at 84,690 miles, 96,684 miles, 105,817 miles and 106,533 miles, demonstrating regular maintenance as the mileage has accumulated.
