A recent survey of van leasing companies by Fleet News has uncovered the UK’s most reliable vans. The survey covered the UK’s 50 largest fleet companies – with a combined fleet of 183,000 cars and vans.

At the top of the list for the third year running was the Ford Transit. In second place was the Vauxhall Astravan with Ford’s smaller Transit Connect taking third place. Rounding out the top 5 were the Mercedes Sprinter and Volkswagen Transporter – all good, high-quality choices. Reliability was measured based on breakdowns per 100 vans of each model.

Interestingly, there are no Fiat, Renault, Peugeot or Citroen vans in the top 5 – despite the vast numbers that are in circulation. Peugeot did manage to scrape into the top 5 most reliable manufacturers, in 5th place behind Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Vauxhall.
