As the majority of everyone else has said there a good van, I'm on my 2nd one and done 42,000 in it the last 2 years. Apart from the servicing and tyres etc it's been spot on, I better go and find a bit of wood to touch I think!!! The mpg has improved a lot more as I rack up more mileage and has certainly improved since I've gone over 50k and I'm usually getting 35-38mpg. Although I must add I am sniffing around a few leasing deals on vito's and transit customs for next year.
A guy who works for us has an 04 and not had any major problems but I thought I'd ask the guys on here. The one I looked at is 2013 with 8k on the clock.
I was working with a guy who has one today. He has done nearly 280,000 in his. A new clutch at 150,000 and a new starter motor is all he has had. Oh and a new bumper, where he ramed a guy who was being a dick.
No mate, not joking. He said he had an lt35 before that, with 450,00 miles on it. He could nt bring himself to sell it, so it sits on his drive. Ive seen the milage on the vivaro !
