Have there been any reports of rusting on the Ford Transit Custom?

Asked on 29 August 2017 by DEREK WATSON

Answered by Dan Powell

We haven't had any reports of bodywork issues, but the quality of the optional metallic paint can be hit and miss. The Transit Custom is susceptible to rusting rear hinges, but this is an easy to fix with a spray-on rust inhibitor.
