I have 2 x 1.6 dispatchs now 12 months old from new and 1-2.0 litre 6 year old fiat scudo full off nightmare problems . Try to locate 2 hose reels on each side door entrance go for 650 litre tank try to buy 1200 payload
buying used vans are a nightmare I love Iveco Daily great van 2.3 s.w.b had 3 in the past only had rear brake calipers siezed

I loved my (swb high roof) daily, still miss it, but cant really justify running a van that size. Hoping to pick up a large chunk of extra work at the start of next year, so might start thinking about a daily again then!

the only reason I sold the iveco's was to save on fuel but I spent loads on this fiat scudo 2007 60000 miles on the clock

I bought mine with 170k miles(!), but it ran as sweet as you like, quieter and more refined than my transit connect. I got 29mpg out of it, which i think was pretty good for a van like that. Loved the high up driving position, the london taxi rivaling turning circle and the extremely powerful heating and ventilation (which was a godsend in both the winter and summer!)

My connect gives 40mpg though, and, touchwood, no problems so far!

Had 1.6 dispatch ok van but had nothing but problems with
Little things like radio, heater, clutch judder, horn, wipers , electrics etc
Never actually let me down but got fed up with taking it back
To get things sorted..... Had 30k miles on it .
Biggest problem was the pedals were to close together so if
You have size 10 feet think again.

2.0 Dispatch here, brilliant van. Bought it second hand about 1,5 year ago. Nothing wrong with it, 110k on the clock, runs beautifully, great interior, no niggles or anything. Galvanized steel body as well. Get 29-30Mpg with 650L Grippamax system and ladders on the inside. Good turbo diesels only just get started at 100k.

Electric window regulator broke a month ago, had to get that fixed but apart from that it's great. Came from a Berlingo from 1997 with 170K on the clock, never a problem either. Sure there will be things that are going to need replacing at this mileage, but the turbo and intercooler have already been replaced, which is common on any car/van around the 100k. Make sure it's got full service history.
