Title: Most reliable vans
Post by: PoleKing on April 14, 2013, 08:20:15 pm
A little google found this...

http://www.parkers.co.uk/vans/news-and-advice/2012/december/survey-reveals-the-most-reliable-vans-of-2012/

The only thing I find hard to believe is that Toyota are 10th without a single model in the top 10.

I wouldn't read too much into that as the survey was conducted from fleet suppliers who mostly use Ford, Vauxhall or Mercedes.

Quite right.

Hyundai's not on the list - perhaps that's because they're as rare as hen's teeth!

Scrimble-Honest question, why don't you like the Renault vans?
Have you had a bad experience in the past, or what you've heard or bad car or something else? Genuinely curious.

The traffic/vivaro /primastar must be the vans I most see on the road so they can't be that bad!

I haven't owned one so god knows what they're like  just an observation  ;D

Fair enough. Sorry you had a bad experience.
There's always a bad one in a bunch.
Hope you have more joy with your Doblo, nothing more annoying than wanting/needing to work but not being able to through no fault of your own.

Toyota Hiace

I've had mine for 4 years, 60,000-120,000 with no major problems  :)
