The Ford Transit Custom is one of the UK’s most stolen commercial vehicles, with organised thieves targeting them for their resale value and the tools often left inside. For tradespeople, losing a Transit Custom can mean missed work, lost earnings and significant insurance issues.
Police data across London, Coventry, Manchester, Leicester, Bristol and Glasgow shows van theft continues to rise, with criminals increasingly using electronic devices to copy keys or bypass factory security.
At StolenCarTrackers.co.uk, we specialise in Smartrack systems — the leading choice for protecting Transits in 2025.
Why the Smartrack S5 Is Ideal for Transit Custom Owners
The Smartrack S5 provides accredited protection with:
-
24/7 monitoring by Global Telemetrics
-
ADR driver-recognition tags
-
Instant alerts if the van moves without authorisation
-
Insurance-approved S5 security
Tradespeople frequently leave vans on job sites or customers’ driveways, making reliable 24/7 protection vital.
Smartrack S5 iMob — The Ultimate Defence Against Key Cloning
Many Transit thefts involve no forced entry. Criminals simply copy a key signal or steal the key from the property.
The S5 iMob immobilises the engine unless the ADR tag is present, ensuring:
-
Relay thieves cannot start the van
-
Stolen keys cannot be used
-
Electronic hacking attempts fail
For Transit Custom owners, the iMob is one of the strongest defences available today.
