2012 Ford Transit

This well thought-out self-build campervan is ready to drive away and start your next adventure. Built on a reliable 2012 Ford Transit diesel manual platform with 130,000 miles, it offers a practical balance of drivability, space and off-grid capability. Inside, the van is designed for comfortable travel and overnight stays for two, with three seatbelts for flexibility. The semi-fixed bed layout maximises both sleeping comfort and daytime living space, complemented by a dining table and smart storage throughout. The kitchen area includes a fridge, sink with tap, kitchen units and dedicated storage, making it easy to live on the road. Fully equipped for off-grid travel, the electrical system includes 12V electrics, AGM leisure battery, solar panels, DC-DC charger, inverter, USB sockets and interior lighting. A mains hookup is also fitted for campsite use. Comfort is ensured year-round thanks to the diesel air heater, roof fan and insulated living space, while fresh and grey water systems with an internal tank support longer trips away. The van is currently MOT’d until November 2026 and taxed, giving peace of mind for the new owner. Priced at £15,000, this is an excellent entry point into van life or a ready-to-go weekend adventure vehicle.
