The survey covered the UK&#8217;s 50 largest fleet companies &#8211; with a combined fleet of 183,000 cars and vans.<\/p>\n<p>At the top of the list for the third year running was the Ford Transit. In second place was the Vauxhall Astravan with Ford&#8217;s smaller Transit Connect taking third place. Rounding out the top 5 were the Mercedes Sprinter and Volkswagen Transporter &#8211; all good, high-quality choices. Reliability was measured based on breakdowns per 100 vans of each model.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, there are no Fiat, Renault, Peugeot or Citroen vans in the top 5 &#8211; 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.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in learning more about van leasing or in getting a free, no-strings quote on a lease van, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/rentaltype.php\">Van Leasing page<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new survey of the 50 largest fleet companies in the UK has uncovered the UK&#8217;s most reliable vans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[231],"tags":[98,731,1959,13],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1165"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1165"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1165\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10941,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1165\/revisions\/10941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
