Ford Transit 12-seat minibus

The Ford Transit 12-seat minibus is as comfortable as its 17-seat counterpart, but its reduced size and weight mean it can be driven on a car licence under a Section 19 Permit (conditions apply). Renowned for its practicality and efficiency, Ford minibuses remain the most popular choice for schools and organisations seeking comfort, safey and efficiency.  It features a six-speed gearbox and boasts a fuel consumption rate of up to 43.5 MPG.

The 12-seat Ford Transit is the largest Ford Minibus that you can drive on a standard car licence (conditions apply under a Section 19 Permit). It is one of the most popular mid-sized minibuses because of this, as well as the impressive range of safety features that come as standard.

Rivervale Minibus have 12-seat Ford Transit minibuses available to lease or outright purchase. You can purchase a quality used minibus or lease a brand new vehicle on a fully maintained contract, with a low initial payment, so you know exactly what you need to budget for each month.

Despite it being a larger vehicle drivers can park it with confidence because of the reversing camera, which we know reduces the stress of driving and the likelihood of scrapes.

Ford has introduced new technology for the Euro 6, which makes this vehicle more refined as well as better for the environment so you can drive it into ULEZ areas without fines or penalties. The Ford’s EcoBlue engine is designed for efficiency, providing good fuel economy, which is a significant advantage for organisations looking to minimise running costs.

As you’d expect from a Ford minibus, this vehicle offers exceptional practicality. The large sliding side door with sidestep and wide rear doors make getting on and off the vehicle quick and easy, which is particularly useful if the bus will be used for multiple pick-up and drop-offs. There is ample storage space for luggage, with options to fold up or remove seats to accommodate different sizes and shapes of baggage and equipment.

All Ford Transit minibuses are designed with the driver in mind. The driving position is high, providing excellent visibility, and the controls are intuitively placed. The steering is responsive, making the vehicle surprisingly easy to handle despite its size, all perfect adaptations for a driver who may not have driven anything larger than a car before.

The Ford comes with standard specifications that include air conditioning, cruise control, heated rear windows and electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors to make driving more pleasurable. As mentioned there is also a reversing camera (not available on all vehicles), making parking and manoeuvring easier and less of a worry.

The Ford Transit 12-seat minibus is a robust, good-looking vehicle that delivers on performance and comfort. Its Euro 6 efficiency, low emissions, and comprehensive safety features offer real long-term value compared to its competitors.
