Top 10: Ford vans with the lowest insurance groups

2

Ford Transit Courier (2014-)

Insurance Group 2E

It stands to reason that the second smallest of Ford’s vans also happens to be the second cheapest to insure. The current Transit Courier is the manufacturer’s littlest purpose-built van and also the tiniest model to bear the Transit name. It’s based on the Fiesta, which means it handles well, and it starts in insurance group 2E. Available in that group are both the 100ps 1.0-litre Ecoboost petrol and 75PS 1.5 CDTi diesel versions, while no variant is higher than group 3E.

Ford Transit Connect (2014-)

Insurance Group 3E

The good news about the Transit Connect is that latest version starts in exactly the same group as its predecessor: 3E. Compared to the older, 2002-2014 version, buyers get much more choice when it comes to vehicles at the bottom end of the insurance scale, as panel and crew vans and double cab variants can all be found in group 3E, as are both petrol and diesel engines.

Ford Transit Custom (2013-)

Insurance Group 5E

Britain’s current best-selling van also has the lowest starting insurance group of any full-sized panel van on our list, at group 5E. Transit Customs in that bracket are limited to the 105PS 2.0TD 250 L1 250 and 260 variants, while other models in the range are between groups 6E and 9E, depending on the exact configuration. Whatever version you go for, expect a refined and upmarket cabin with excellent diesel engines and a five-star Euro NCAP rating.

Ford Transit panel van (2006-2014)

Insurance Group 6

Formerly Britain’s best-selling panel van, used examples of the previous generation Transit can be picked up anywhere and can do just about anything. As with the crew van variant, the previous generation Transit panel van’s groups sit between six and nine, while the variety of engines, body styles and trim levels is utterly vast, so LCV buyers can’t fail to find something that suits their needs.

Ford Ranger (2011-2016)

Insurance Group 10E

The pre-facelift version of the Ford Ranger sits in a slightly higher insurance band than the newer version: 10A. The letter ‘A’ delineates a model that meets safety body Thatcham’s requirements for the group, while later Rangers received the suffix ‘E’, which means they have better-than-average security gear. Rangers in this group are 143PS 2.5 TDCi models in XL or XLT trim and regular, double or super cab specification, while more powerful and better specced models span groups 11 to 13A.
