Key Specifications
- Payload: Typically ranges from 650kg to 1000kg (L1 and L2 versions).
- Load Volume: L1 (Short Wheelbase) offers approximately 3.3m3, L2 (Long Wheelbase) offers around 3.9m3 (or up to 4.4m3 with FlexCargo through-load facility).
- External Dimensions (L1 H1): Approx. 4403mm (length) x 1921mm (width inc. mirrors) x 1840mm (height).
- Engine Options: Mainly 1.5-litre BlueHDi (PSA/Stellantis) diesel engines, commonly 75PS, 100PS, and 130PS. A 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine (110PS/130PS) is less common in the used van market.
- Euro Standard: All current generation Combo vans (since 2018) are Euro 6 compliant, making them suitable for ULEZ/CAZ.
What to Look For When Buying Used
- DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): Essential for diesel models. Check for dash warning lights or excessive smoke on acceleration, indicating potential blockage from short journeys. Ensure it has been correctly maintained or regenerated.
- Timing Belt vs. Chain: The 1.5 BlueHDi diesel engines use a timing belt, with replacement intervals typically around 100,000 miles or 5 years (check service history for exact details). Factor this potential cost into your budget if due.
- AdBlue System: The 1.5 BlueHDi engines use AdBlue. Check for any warning messages related to the AdBlue system, as repairs can be costly. Ensure regular top-ups are documented.
- Rust Spots: While generally good, check common areas like wheel arches, sills, and around door hinges, especially on older, higher-mileage examples or those exposed to road salt.
- Sliding Door/Rear Door Operation: Ensure smooth operation and secure locking mechanisms for all load-bay doors. Scratches or dents here can indicate hard use.
- Service History: A comprehensive service record is paramount for any commercial vehicle. Look for evidence of regular oil changes and adherence to manufacturer schedules.
Running Costs for Businesses
- Typical Insurance: Insurance groups for the Combo typically range from 7E to 15E depending on the engine, trim, and security features. Businesses should budget £500-£1,200 annually for comprehensive commercial insurance, varying by driver history and location.
- Fuel Economy: The 1.5 BlueHDi 100PS models are highly efficient, often achieving 50-60 mpg (combined) in real-world driving. The 130PS is slightly less.
- Servicing: Main dealer servicing can range from £250-£450 for a minor service and £400-£700 for a major service. Independent specialists can often offer better value.
- ULEZ/CAZ Compliance: All current generation Combo vans (2018 onwards) are Euro 6 compliant, meaning they are exempt from charges in current UK Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) and Clean Air Zones (CAZ).
