Buy Used Large Vans

The vans in the 3.5 tonne category are at the apex of Light Commercial Vehicles, and above this limit a car licence is not sufficient for getting behind the wheel. The driving experience has come a long way in recent years, but there's still more of a gap between the feel of a car than with the mid-sized vans. Large van chassis are also the basis for dropside, tipper, Luton and refrigerated vans serving many different industries.

The award-winning Mercedes Sprinter has long been a standard bearer in the large van segment. There's a huge range of variants, including choice of drive (front, rear or 4WD), models with huge payload capacity, and the technology and safety features on the 2018+ range is second to none - with things like air-conditioning, parking camera and cruise control as standard.

WhatCar LCV of the Year 2020, the Vauxhall Movano is based on the same platform as the Citroen Relay and Peugeot Boxer. With a maximum load space of 17 cubic metres, efficient engines with high torque and new safety features including blind spot assist and lane departure warning on some models, if this van is more basic than others in some areas, it really is built for work. Another van to come in near-endless variations is the Ford Transit. Easy to drive, economical, large payload and strong second-hand market are among the many reasons why the Transit has been the best selling large van in the UK for many years.

Large vans are beginning to be offered by most makers in Electric versions. One to mention here is the 2021 Motor Transport Awards 'Clean Fleet Van of the Year', the Maxus eDeliver 9.
