I dont want anything that old otherwise I'd just stick with what I have

I think the thing to bare in mind mate is that these late model motors ain’t meant to be kept, they are meant to be thrown away.

Theres a reason older Merc vans hold their money so well.

I reckon there will come a point where you can’t give away these late model Transit customs

I'd just find myself a transit just before the wet belt think they will go up to a 16 plate. Can go wrong with a transit . Solid vans 

Transits ain't solid vans ..  probably the first van that'll need welding before anything else the same age ..

So what mid size vans aint using wet belts these days?I know with my pathfinder they were prone to snapping chains so as soon as I bought it I paid a grand and had a duplex chain conversion.I knew the Fords were best given a swerve because of the wet belts but didn't know other manufacturers were using them

Renault trafic Or Mercedes Vito .. the Vito would be my choice, I know a fella with one that's on over 220 thousand miles and still drives ok .

I’d go vito, at least the majority of faults with them are DPF or injectors, not your engine falling to bits
