At a glance
- Years: 2006 to 2018, with a facelift in 2013 that brought Euro 6 engines.
- Reliability: 2/5. The vans work hard, but injector seal leaks and clutch wear are common and cost money.
- DIY: 2/5. Clutch jobs need a workshop; the checks below need no special tools.
- Prefer: a van with a smooth clutch and a quiet engine bay.
- Avoid: a chuffing sound from the engine bay.
