Hi UK..
I bought a Trafic (exactly the same as a Vivaro) last year and am so far very pleased with it. Obviously I haven't had it for that long but I think the gearbox problems that everyone gets worried about are pre56 plate (not sure though).
I bought an ex AA van for £4100 (58 plate - 135,000 miles - 2L Cdti) and there are quite a few around for this price (once you've knocked them down a little!)
I have measured the MPG very accurately and on purely town driving with a bit of motorway I get 34mpg. On longer runs (motorway) this went up to 41mpg. That is with the van being driven at 60mph on the motorway which is what I do.
The ex-AA ones generally have the metal AA shelves left in (but with plastic trays removed). I sold it for £100!
It drives well, is comfortable and I like it. If I could afford a transporter I would have got one, but you pay an extra £1-2K!
