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.

1 – For Transit Custom

Coming in on top is the Ford Transit Custom with 19,000 more sales than its competitors.

"Very happy with our Vanaways transaction! We needed three new vans quickly for our company and Vanaways didn't disappoint. Hannah and Abbie were on hand every step of the way and provided extremely good prices which suited our business. Customer service is a priority for them and it shows with every phone call and email! When I need a few more, they will be my first port of call. Thankyou guys!"

"Great service right from the first contact with Reece, who then passed me onto Ash once initial sale was completed. From making payment delivery was approximately 3 days. Received text from Nathan this morning (16th June) and he was on time with delivery. Really pleased with the service I've received. Many thanks!"

"First class service, I must mention Adrian & Ash on an excellent deal & swift turn around under the short notice I had to buying a new van. Slight delay in the delivery of the van from manufacturers end but Adrian agreed to cover the cost of a hire van until my new van was delivered which allowed me to continue working. its the first time i've purchased a van without physically entering a dealership and i wouldn't hesitate to do it again."
