Best Small Van

[manboobs109]

Peugeot Bipper. Had mine four year and done about 60k miles. Apart from usual shite like break pads and tyres etc the only big bill I've had was a new radiator. 

Worth thinking about the new LEZ zones though. I can't take mine into Glasgow centre now, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen soon. 

It's 12 year old now so doing fairly well. Garage boy I use says Peugeot Bipper, Fiat Doblo and a Renault Kangoo are the same van but badged differently.

Aye the reviews I read mentioned this, but still rated the Kangoo much higher overall - missing some o' the Renaults practical features despite being a good bitty pricier... Say no more 🤚

'N' ach nowt too specific ATM tbh son; will do some local homework, see what pish is out there.

Give me time as well to pimp myself out for the necessary cash haha - ah no 

 

 

Cannae delete this emoji - ach ⬇️

The only thing the Citan had better than the Kangoo was an unlimited mileage warranty. 
 

Just make sure the Kangoo has proof of a timing belt replacement and if it doesn’t knock a decent amount off to cover the job

In your experience - which small van really got the cockles a-clacking?

Had several uses of a Peugeot Pardn'r, which to Dads Mind, is a top performer - but maybes there's a cunt or two that'll say there's summat much the same or better for much the same / less money typically; let Dad Know ✌️

The small van you’re eventually carted off to the cop shop in

The Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Pardn'r, vauxhall combo 'n' the Toyota Proace are the same badged differently these days apparently - according to WhatCar anyhow (I dinnae work for them 🤚).

If one of these is outside a shop you know it's commiting a parking offence.

What are you using your van for Dad? I used an old people carrier as a "van" done the job and more versatile, obv wouldn't work for a tradesman.

Bedford Rascal or a Toyota Hi Ace.

You no like vans Clive son?

Would love to get a wee 6x6 Kei truck, but getting them registered here is a fucking nightmare, allegedly, involving not only the DoT but Homeland Sefuckingcurity.  Are they legal in Britain?

Cheap as chips and Japanese reliability.

Looks like they might not be road licensed... lots of talk of 'farms and estates', but nothing about steaming along a motorway. 

Think it's the same here. 

You can drive some tiny death trap 'smart car' anywhere you like, but these lovely little trucks are getting the blunt end up the keester.
