The 2016 Ford Transit: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Ford Transit for sale by us right now. Buying the 2016 Ford Transit is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 157 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, unknown or other and engine; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Reading the spec sheet
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
What the Transit is like
As a car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
Good uses for the Transit
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
