What mileage is acceptable on a Transit?
Anything with proof. A documented 150,000-mile van is a safer buy than an unknown 80,000-mile one.
Which fault costs the most?
A wet belt failure. It usually means an engine, not a repair.
What do buyers inspect first?
Corrosion. Rusty arches kill retail price faster than mileage does.
