Mercedes-Benz Vaneo

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good dealer deals, nobody thinks they are any good, so great value low mileage cars available

    Costs

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Poor fuel economy and lousy overpriced dealer servicing costs

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Auto box is easy and very stable for such a tall (small) vehicle excellent brakes and holding

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Have to learn how to get best from the drive, after a while you can get caught out with how fast you are travelling in what is a pointy box, (not that you'de get far beyond the speed limit even downhill when fully laden)

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Few initial glitches, (and it had been used by a dealer, but they didn't bother to put small faults right) no real bother since then, but too early to moan perhaps

    Mainly use it for carrying my goods and servicing equipment so compared to other pure vans I've owned it's a big improvement (as a car it reminds most people of a hurse)

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    If you are buying to use as a versatile vehicle it is comfortable and easy to drive, compared to many family salloons it's a van (which it is, but it's a very good van)

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Seems fine feel more comfortable leaving items in luggage area with tinted glass to deter oportunist theives, don't think anybody would be wanting to break in just to steal the car (no street cred in that)

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Beautiful showrooms and coffee facilities (seem not to want to service low life's cars like mine?)

    Complete loss of power steering fluid (told o ring had been pinched on assembly?)
