What to Look For When Buying Used
- DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): Essential for Euro 5/6 diesels. Check service history for DPF issues. Short, stop-start city driving can clog DPFs. A warning light indicates a problem.
- Timing Belt/Chain:
- 1.5L/1.6L TDCi Diesel: These engines use a timing belt. Replacement interval is typically 10 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first. Verify replacement in the service history if due or nearing due. Failure is catastrophic.
- 1.0L EcoBoost Petrol: Uses a wet timing belt (runs in oil). While designed to last longer than traditional dry belts, premature failure due to incorrect oil usage or neglected oil changes can occur. Check full service history.
- Rust Spots: Check around wheel arches, sills, and door bottoms, particularly on older models or those that have seen heavy use.
- Sliding Door Operation: Ensure the sliding side door(s) operate smoothly without sticking or excessive play.
- Electrical Gremlins: Test all electrics – central locking, infotainment, windows, and air conditioning.
- Driveshaft & CV Joints: Listen for clicking or knocking noises on full lock, especially at low speeds, which can indicate worn CV joints.
Running Costs for Businesses
- Insurance Group: Typically falls into insurance groups 7 to 10 (e.g., 1.5 TDCi 75PS is often Group 8E). This is relatively low for a van, keeping premiums manageable.
- Fuel Economy:
- 1.5 TDCi Diesel: Expect around 45-55 MPG in real-world mixed driving.
- 1.0 EcoBoost Petrol: Around 35-45 MPG.
- Servicing: Main dealer servicing can be £200-£400 for minor/major services. Independent specialists often offer better value.
- ULEZ/CAZ Compliance:
- Most Euro 6 Diesel models (from mid-2016 onwards) are ULEZ/CAZ compliant.
- Many Euro 5 Diesel models (pre-2016) are not compliant and will incur charges.
- All 1.0L EcoBoost Petrol models are ULEZ/CAZ compliant.
