So far I have had to put in a new engine on a 03 hdi relay that had only done 39k, the door stuck, calipers stuck and needed replacing, new starter, new battery, arial fell off. I maybe just very unlucky with them but this is my first impression and from what I hear in the garages and from others these are the most common vans they have to fix and the parts are way over priced, so from my experience thisis why I said what I did.

I have just got a vivaro and I love it
Also you might as well look for the Traffic or the Nissan version as basicly they are all the same vans
pulls like a steam train even fully loaded up

I have a Megane nothing wrong so far. I pay £35 a year road tax. Its 1.5 diesel turbo. I'm also thinking about upgrading my Ford connect to a Renault traffic.

I agree with Tomy & Bod, on Toyota Hiace.

Got 03 88bhp swb only cost has been 2 new tyres, steering pinion or something minmal & job on door, our problem someone decided to leave a plant pot near to van. Not that you couldn,t missit 1m cubed about 1/2 ton.

Got an 07 120bhp aswell now & that is a realy good van & lovely to drive.

Have had fiat & it seems that they are not up to the job comepletely
