When you need a wheelchair accessible vehicle for the whole family, space matters. The Ford Tourneo Custom is one of the larger WAVs available, giving you room for the wheelchair user as well as five additional passengers. That makes it a particularly useful choice for families, carers and anyone who regularly travels with a larger group.
At Wholesale Car Company in Ilkeston, we specialise in used wheelchair accessible vehicles rather than treating WAVs as just another part of a general used-car business. We've been helping customers find suitable accessible transport since 1986, with vehicles prepared and supported by a team that understands what buyers need from a WAV.
Space for everyone
The biggest attraction of the Tourneo Custom is straightforward: you don't have to leave people behind.
Our information on the model confirms that suitable Tourneo Custom WAV conversions can accommodate the wheelchair user alongside five additional passengers. That gives you considerably more flexibility than a compact WAV, particularly if you're travelling with children, relatives or carers.
There's also more room to move around inside the vehicle, which can make a real difference when you're getting a wheelchair user safely into position and securing the chair for the journey.
For family days out, appointments, holidays or simply getting everyone from A to B, having those extra seats can make the vehicle much more useful.
What to look for in a Tourneo Custom WAV
It's important to remember that two wheelchair accessible vehicles based on the same Ford can have quite different conversions.
Before buying, think about how you'll actually use the vehicle. Who needs to travel? How will the wheelchair user enter the vehicle? How much room is needed around the chair? Will you need to carry mobility equipment as well as passengers?
You'll want to consider:
Wheelchair access – check the ramp arrangement and loading height.
Wheelchair restraints – make sure the securing system is suitable for the chair being used.
Passenger capacity – confirm the exact seating arrangement of the individual vehicle.
Interior space – consider headroom and room around the wheelchair position.
Loading assistance – a winch may be useful depending on the wheelchair user's needs and the vehicle's conversion.
Conversion condition – ramps, restraints and other adapted equipment should be checked as carefully as the Ford itself.
Vehicle history – mileage, servicing, MOT history and overall mechanical condition all remain important.
If you're unsure which configuration would work best, it's worth speaking to a specialist rather than trying to work it out from photographs alone.
Why buy a used Tourneo Custom WAV?
A new wheelchair accessible vehicle can represent a substantial investment. Choosing a carefully prepared used example can give you access to a larger vehicle and a well-established conversion for considerably less than buying new.
Wholesale Car Company says all of its vehicles undergo thorough mechanical and visual inspections and are supplied with a valid MOT, full service and warranty.
The company also offers finance through HP, with or without a deposit, and accepts part exchanges, subject to finance status and terms.
That means you can concentrate on finding the right vehicle for the wheelchair user and the people travelling with them, rather than trying to arrange everything separately.
More than just a vehicle
A good WAV should make everyday life easier.
For someone who relies on a wheelchair, being able to get into a vehicle without transferring to a standard car seat can make spontaneous trips, family visits and appointments much less complicated. The Tourneo Custom's larger interior is particularly useful when several people need to travel together.
