Now we have reached 2022, it’s time to reflect on the past year and reveal the top 5 best-selling vans of 2021. From the Mercedes Sprinter to the Volkswagen Transporter, which fared best?

Here’s our countdown of the top 5 most popular vans.

5 – Vauxhall Vivaro

The Vauxhall Vivaro is a medium-sized van made in Britain and popular among buyers for its wide choice of engines, a comfortable ride, and huge payload capacities. It shared the ‘Best Medium Van for Practicality’ Award at the What Car? Van and Commercial Vehicle Awards due to its 6.1m3 loading volume and a maximum payload of 1446kg. It also has the added bonus of motion-sensing doors for when your hands are full –  making your day much easier.

4 – Volkswagen Transporter

A versatile van, the Volkswagen Transporter is popular among private buyers and small businesses alike. It is well-known for having high predicted resale values and low leasing prices. You’ll also find yourself paying a lot less to run this VW. You also benefit from a huge choice of variants, modern safety aids, infotainment tech, and a punchy 2.0 TDI 150 diesel engine.

 3 – Mercedes Sprinter

Considered one of the best large vans on the market, the Mercedes Sprinter offers modern-car derived tech, advanced fleet connectivity, and a big carrying capacity. It offers a fantastic range of punchy engines, so there’s a Sprinter to suit everyone. You’ll find a huge range of body styles and improved fuel economy with front-wheel drive vans.

2 – Ford Transit

Well-known on British roads, the Ford Transit is popular for its car-like handling and high load capacity. The current model still fares well in tight spaces, and the entry-level 103 bhp engine has a good amount of power depending on load capacity. It’s now more economical with lower CO2 emissions and offers new connectivity features and higher payloads. It comes as no surprise that the Ford Transit is the second-most popular van in Britain in 2021.

"Found these guys online and was a little bit wary to buy a new van from someone I hadn't heard of. From the off, the first phone call was professional and gave me all the information that I needed, Theo was great, helpful and I proceeded to order my new van, Paige sorted the paperwork quickly and efficiently and within 10 days I had my new van delivered! The price was very competitive and all parts of the transaction were easy and hassle free, wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys, Thank you so much for a really good experience."

"I was looking for a good deal on a van online and then came across Van away, at first I was a bit sceptical but later went ahead and bought a Peugeot boxer on an unbeatable price online. The sell team were fantastic all the way and very helpful to say the least. I will highly recommend Van away to anybody that's looking for a van of any kind. Thanks Van Away for your first class service and I will be looking forward to a future deal."

"Just purchased a 2nd van through Vanaways to add to our company fleet. Steve Catley was helpful, communicative and informative all the way through the process. We would definitely use Vanaways again, and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Paige was outstanding in her responsiveness to what presented as a serious problem for our company. The finance company used by her company caused unnecessary and significant delays in the delivery of our van - the pain of which was mitigated somewhat by Paige's proactive communication, informative and realistic communication and very professional demeanour. I'd recommend her and she meant our view of Vanaways was overall positive."
