The headline price gets the click, but five years in, what really matters is parts availability, dealer network depth and how quickly your van gets back on the road when it needs to. That's why we list every major manufacturer side-by-side: so you can choose not just by spec sheet, but by the support behind the badge.
Ford and Mercedes-Benz dominate the medium and large segments respectively, with the densest UK service networks. Volkswagen is the quality benchmark, pay slightly more, drive a noticeably tighter van. Vauxhall, Peugeot and Citroën share the same Stellantis platform, which means you get tradable knowledge between dealers and competitive pricing.
For specialist work, Iveco and Renault still own the chassis-cab and conversion market. Toyota and Isuzu run away with pickup loyalty. And on the EV side, the field is opening fast, every week we add new electric variants from manufacturers who'd never previously made a van.
