Renault’s Trafic panel van was last month’s Glass’s Used Van Hero, with the organisation’s commercial vehicle editors agreeing that the model offers outstanding value, quality and ability.
“The Trafic … is flexible, popular and the current, third-generation design is fresh looking as well as available in a wide variety of body styles and with a good choice of engines,” comments Andy Picton, senior commercial vehicle editor.
Apart from known issues with injectors and timing chains, the Trafic has been seen as a proven and reliable product, with a strong warranty.
“You can see the strengths of the Trafic in its ubiquity. It is the choice of everyone, from the largest fleets to small SMEs and, of course, is also sold in Vauxhall, Fiat and Nissan guises.”
Glass’s ideal buy is the Renault Trafic Sport SL27dCi 115bhp. Look for specimens with 45,000 miles registered in 2014 with FSH. Expect to pay £8,500 + VAT.
