Used Ford Transit Bonnet

The Ford Transit has gone through several distinct generations: the Mk6 ran from 2000 to 2006, the Mk7 from 2006 to 2013, and the current Mk8 (also called the fifth-generation Transit) launched in 2013 and received a facelift around 2019. Within each generation the bonnet is shared across different wheelbases, roof heights, and body styles, so those details won't affect whether a bonnet fits your van.

The Mk8 Transit facelift arrived in 2019 and brought changes to the front-end styling, including the grille and surrounding panels, which means the bonnet shape or shut lines may differ across that boundary. Both the pre-2019 and post-2019 bonnets belong to the Mk8 generation, but whether a specific panel interchanges across that 2019 facelift cut-off is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.

Yes, both 2010 and 2012 Transit vans are within the Mk7 generation (2006–2013), and the bonnet is shared across that generation regardless of wheelbase or roof height, so a 2010 panel should be a strong candidate for a 2012 van. Always confirm the part against your registration with the breaker, as paint finish and any minor running changes can still catch you out.

No – the Mk7 (2006–2013) and Mk8 (2013 onwards) are separate generations with entirely different front-end designs, so the bonnets are not interchangeable. You'll need to make sure the breaker is supplying a part from the correct generation for your van.

Trim level – whether your van is a base model, Trend, Limited, or any other specification – does not affect bonnet fitment on the Ford Transit, as the panel itself is the same across the range within a generation. Bear in mind that bonnets from different trim lines may come in different factory colours, and there can occasionally be minor badge or emblem differences, so factor that in if you're trying to match the existing finish.

A 2005 Transit is a late Mk6 (2000–2006), while a 2007 Transit is an early Mk7 (2006–2013), so these are different generations with different front-end designs and the bonnets are not a like-for-like swap. Stick to sourcing a bonnet confirmed by the breaker as Mk7 stock to make sure it lines up correctly with your van's wings and catch mechanism.
