Sorry for bringing a van thread into this forum but i need some help.

Im after a cheap (£1500-£2500) small van.

Here are two that seem ok to me but i have no idea if they are!
Vauxhall Combo
Renault Kangoo

Any suggestions that i should consider? Or ones i shouldnt go near?
Thank you earthlings

Does it actually need to be a van? Estate cars give you as much room with the back seats down and tend to be cheaper to buy and insure. They're easier to drive as well. A mondeo estate will easily take a couple of euro pallets.

At the moment I am using a VX Combo and VX Movano, It’s on a 59 plate and is very easy van to drive, the clutch is nice and soft and the gearbox is smooth. The breaks are very good I must say and the handling is good for a van. I haven’t found any bad points about them, the 1.7CDTi is a good engine, avoid the 1.3 as I bet it’s only around 60BHP

I have being told its based on a Corsa, so it may not go down well on here. But its a van and tool not a drivers car and it does the tool job perfectly.

I got a 53 reg citroen berlingo in mint con'd at the top end of your budget, 2 years ago, so I'd imagine there are some even better ones out there now.

+ 1 on the idea of an estate though. Van insurance + van tax can be expensive in comparison to an estate
