What’s The Most Reliable Work Van?

Work vans are used by thousands around the country each day, easily transporting tools, products, and more to where the driver needs them. With such a popular market, it can sometimes be hard to find out what van you should be renting or buying. You want something reliable, while also being able to deliver the quality you need.

The team at Parkers has put together a list of the most reliable work vans, based on 50 of the UK’s biggest leasing companies’ answers. We at Van Sales UK strive to offer the best quality vans to our customers, so here is a rundown of the top 5 most reliable work vans on the market according to Parkers, and where you can find them on the Van Sales UK website.

5. Ford Transit Connect

Starting off the top five is the Ford Transit Connect. A dependable van that has stood the test of time, it’s a great choice for drivers looking for a reliable ride that can handle a big payload. Available in a variety of trims, lengths, and heights for the size you need best.

4. Volkswagen Crafter

The first of three Volkswagen vans in this list is the Volkswagen Crafter. It’s a great large van perfect for carrying plenty of goods. It’s ideal for a wide range of functions, with tipper, dropside and extra-long options available.

3. Volkswagen Caddy

The Volkswagen Caddy has five generations of experience behind it, constantly evolving to offer a reliable small van drive that is dependable. While it can’t carry a payload as big as some of the entries on this list, it makes up for it with its high performance.

2. Volkswagen Transporter

Rounding out the triple threat of Volkswagen vans in this list is the Volkswagen Transporter. How has it pulled ahead of its sister vehicles? That could be due to its powerful engines, high storage capacity, and versatile interior.

1. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

Ranking top of the list is the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, a title it has claimed for the last seven years. It is a reliable vehicle with a three-year unlimited mileage warranty and up to 30 years of free roadside recovery. Coupling this with its high capacity and variety of models, it’s not difficult to see why the Sprinter is so reliable.

"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!"
