Not worth leasing a branny tranny ?

The peugeot expert/citeoen dispatch/fiat ducato are reliable vans and suprisingly spacious. All of the medium sized vans seem to be about as unreliable as each other. You wont get alot of transporter for that money but they do hold there value very well.

If its high mileage (over 25k per year) then it has to be a Merc Sprinter. We have 05 plate Sprinters with 300k on them, still running, and the 08 plates with 200+ are still sought after by the drivers.We run over 40 vans, and wouldnt consider anything else for high mileage.

For lower mileage vehicles, we use Citroen Relays, but any of that family would be similar.

Its a load of borrocks Phill. As far as I can tell, the only reason that Sprinters have a reputation for rusting, is that they are the only vans that keep going mechanically long enough to rust.

Yeh I was kidding. To be fair older vitos were bad and probably tarnished mercs reputation.
