Most Reported Faults

EGR Valve and Cooler Failure

Moderate
2013-202140,000–90,000 miles£300–£700

EGR failure on the Transit Custom 2.0 TDCi is extremely common in fleet use. The valve carbons up rapidly in stop-start environments.

Turbocharger Variable Vane Sticking

Severe
2013-202160,000–130,000 miles£200–£1000

The VNT turbocharger on the 2.0 TDCi Transit Custom develops sticky variable vanes from carbon build-up, causing power loss and limp mode.

Dual Mass Flywheel Failure

Moderate
2007-201490,000–170,000 miles£750–£1100

The Mondeo Mk4 2.0 TDCi is a high-mileage rep car that almost inevitably needs its DMF replaced. It is one of the most consistent known faults across all Mondeo diesel ownership.

DPF Blockage from Idling and Short Trips

Moderate
2013-202130,000–80,000 miles£200–£1000

Fleet Transit Customs spend long periods idling at low speed — the worst possible operating profile for a DPF. Blockage is the number one reported fault across UK fleets.

Dual Mass Flywheel Failure

Moderate
2013-202180,000–160,000 miles£800–£1300

The Transit Custom carries loads and covers high mileages — both conditions that accelerate DMF wear. A shuddering, rattling van at idle is the typical presentation.
