Servicing and your warranty

The base warranty doesn’t need Ford servicing; the seven-year conditional warranty (years 6 and 7) does

Terms read 28 October 2026See Ford’s terms

“If you have a licensed and qualified independent vehicle repairer servicing your Vehicle, and they service the Vehicle in accordance with the instructions and recommendations specified for the Vehicle by Ford, then your coverage under the Ford Vehicle Warranty will not be affected. ... while having your Vehicle serviced by an independent repairer may not void your standard five-year Ford Vehicle Warranty, you must have all services (including those in the first five years) performed at an Authorised Ford Dealer to be eligible for the seven-year conditional warranty ... if your Vehicle’s Ford Warranty Commencement Date is on or after 1 September 2026, Ford offers a seven-year conditional warranty on the same terms as this Ford Vehicle Warranty provided you have all services (including those in the first five years) for the Vehicle completed by an Authorised Ford Dealer in accordance with the time and kilometre intervals specified by Ford.”
the sentence that decides it, as Ford prints it (read 28 October 2026)

What the ACCC says

“Consumers can choose an independent repairer to service and repair their vehicle knowing it's mandatory for car manufacturers to make service and repair information available.” and “Voluntary warranties cannot replace, change or take away the automatic rights consumers have.” ACCC, new and second-hand cars

On warranties, the ACCC says: “The terms and conditions of a warranty may require the consumer to do certain things in order to keep the warranty.” ACCC, warranties

Overview

The 2026 Ford Transit Custom Trend SWB Van is a short-wheelbase diesel van with 3 seats, an 8-speed automatic and drive to the front wheels. It's priced at $56,890 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. Out back there's 5,800 litres of cargo volume and a 1,245kg payload. Fuel use is 8L/100km on the combined cycle, though that's an official figure and a loaded van will usually use more. It suits tradies and small businesses who want a van that fits in tighter spots but still carries a decent load.
