Used diesel vans FAQs

Are diesel vans being phased out?

Yes, but more slowly than diesel cars. The UK government plans to phase out the sale of new diesel vans starting from 2035, in favour of electric vans. The goal for passenger cars is 2030.

What is the most reliable used diesel van?

The VW Transporter, Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit Connect are all diesel vans which perform extremely well in reliability surveys - so they’re a good place to start looking when you’re in the market for a used diesel van.

Is it worth buying a used diesel van?

Yes - in fact, unless you’re specifically after an electric van, there are very few options. Petrol or hybrid vans are few and far between, and so the overwhelming majority of used vans on sale are diesel. Their good low-down power and reasonable fuel economy, plus simplicity and reliability, make diesel engines a great choice for a van.

What to look for when buying a used diesel van?

If you’re buying a newer diesel van, it’s worth checking that the emissions systems, such as the diesel particulate filter, are all functioning as they should. Otherwise, there are few specifics to look for when buying a diesel van - ensure that there’s good service history and that all scheduled maintenance has been performed, and you’re setting yourself up for success.
