One of the reasons I have kept my van so long is the more problematic issues with newer diesel vans.

If I ever change my van I suppose electric would be the way to go (I may retire in near future), but then bolting down a tank and hosereel does not seem so straightforward.

One option would be to buy a Toyota as they have a 10 year warranty (assuming they are serviced by Toyota).

It's a myth...... ive never had a single issue with modern diesel vans and neither has my missus.(we both drive Ford connect  diesel euro 6 vans)
price higher/work harder!

Mate was saying the Merc mechanics (technicians) are having to go on a Renault course because the Sprinters are now using their engines. The motor industry has went crazy because they all seem to be using other companies parts. If they could just keep it simple instead of changing all the time then the reliability would come back.
Only want a VW Crafter is because they still run with the dry belt or so I'm told.

The 10 year warranty doesn’t cover everything especially electrical issues from the Peugeot side of things

I haven't looked into it but on the face of it sounds good.

A downside would be having to use Toyata dealer, so servicing cost over time would be a lot more than the idependant garage I use now.

To be fair there servicing prices aren’t bad  we have a 2018 proace on this 10 year warranty it doesn’t cover electrical  issues the  sat nav and radio unit which is a Peugeot part was faulty and was replaced but I had to pay for the parts was nearly £400 , same with the head up display they will  sometimes do free labour as a good will gesture but won’t pay for  the parts it’s all in the small print 😂
