Vivaro/Traffic or Transit? Owners comments......

[Lazlo]

New van time (well probably a 2011 or newer), I'm drawn towards a SWB/MWB high top Transit for extra space but there are loads of Vivaros about but most people that have them seem to think they have dodgy gearboxes etc. If you've got experience of either.......

I can vouch for the corrosion!

Hi I use to have a transit last year I brought a vivaro swb, I'm looking to to swap back to a transit because there seem to be
a lot more space. They do tend to rust a lot but if you got a clean one you can have it under sealed for couple hundred then no problems .

OK got my eye on a 2013, 2.0 CDTI Vivaro with 46k on the clock, £8250+VAT and a 2011, Ford Transit swb 2.2 tdci *115 bhp £7995+vat....going Sat AM to test drive both, probably come home with one or the other.....will let you know.
The Vivaro looks the better option as has Air con and blueteeth......
