More about the 17 Seat Euro 5 Ford Transit

The 17 Seat Euro 5 Ford Transit remains one of the most popular used Ford minibuses, especially for schools that don’t have to worry about ULEZ or clean air zones. Ford minibuses have always been considered as one of the safest options for schools because of their great reputation, so they remain the most popular choice for schools to purchase used.

As this is a large vehicle, the 17 seat Euro 5 Ford has a GVW of 4100kg which means it requires D1 entitlement to drive, even if you have specialist lifting equipment fitted. Drivers can either take the D1 driving test or they may have D1 entitlement already on their licence if they passed before 1st January 1997.

Euro 5 vs Euro 6 - what is the difference?

One of the key differences between a Euro 5 and a Euro 6 minibus are the emissions, which is why we mentioned the ULEZ zones earlier. The NOx limit for Euro 5 diesel vehicles is 180mg/km so not all Euro 5 models are compliant with clean air zones. You will need to check the areas you intend to travel in to see if you will need to pay any additional charges.

Despite being an older model, there are many great features to the Ford Transit Euro 5 to make your journeys safe and comfortable.
