Second Hand Ford Transit Custom Centre Console

Yes, the Transit Custom does have a centre console – it sits between the driver and front passenger seats and typically houses cupholders, storage compartments, and in some variants armrest padding or a lid. The console design varies between trim levels and between the first-generation (2012–2023) and second-generation (2023-onwards) models, so it is a genuine used part worth sourcing from a breaker.

Both a 2016 and a 2020 Transit Custom fall within the first generation (2012–2023), which received a facelift around 2018, so there are differences in interior trim detailing either side of that date. Parts from within the same pre-facelift or post-facelift period are more likely to be a direct match, but whether a pre-2018 console fits cleanly in a post-2018 van is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration before buying.

The 2022 van is a late first-generation model, while the 2024 is a second-generation Transit Custom, and these are substantially different vehicles with redesigned interiors, so the consoles are not expected to be interchangeable. Stick to sourcing a console from the same generation as your van, and confirm the exact match with the breaker using your registration number.

Trim level can affect the console on the Transit Custom because higher specifications such as Limited and Titanium may feature a more substantial armrest lid or different upholstery compared to the base Leader trim, even if the underlying shell is similar. A console from a lower trim may physically fit but could look different to what you originally had, so it is worth telling your breaker which trim your van is and asking what trim the salvage part came from.

Yes, this can matter – the double-cab-in-van (DCIV) body style has a different seating arrangement and may have a different console or centre section compared to a standard panel van or kombi variant of the same generation. Always tell the breaker which body style your van is so they can match the console correctly.

No – the engine itself does not affect centre console fitment on the Transit Custom, so you do not need to worry about matching diesel variants or power outputs. Focus instead on getting the generation, facelift period, body style, and trim level right, and confirm these details with the breaker against your registration.
