Often found at the top of its class, the Vauxhall Combo is a fantastic option for its carrying ability alone. With ample usable space and able to carry a payload of up to 750kg, there’s a lot to like! 

The Combo is more than just its space. You will enjoy a good driving experience in a comfortable cabin too. Boasting a 1.6-litre turbodiesel engine, the Combo is a standout for reliability and fuel efficiency. 

Renault Kangoo

We found: £4,000 2011 38,000 miles

Strong fuel economy and a spacious, comfortable cabin are worth every penny with the Kangoo. An incredibly versatile and resilient van, you’ll struggle to find a more competitively priced smaller van on the market. 

Low insurance rates and with a range of fuel and range of outputs on offer, you won’t be restrained by choice! Keep in mind that currently, the diesel versions are the most fuel-efficient. If you want to push the boat out, look into the future EV models that are in development.

We found: £4,850 2012 57,000 miles

Ok, we’re not going to lie. In the under £5k bracket, the Connect models available aren’t quite as sexy and stylish as their upgraded sisters. But if it’s a practical, functional and comfortable driving experience you are after, then the Connect is the one for you. 

Ticking all the excellent fuel economy, spacious cab and ride quality boxes, you won’t struggle to find a worthwhile Connect for your budget. 

Mercedes-Benz Citan

If you’re not quite taken with the Kangoo’s quirky design, then the Mercedes-Benz Citan might be the one for you. Underneath its skin, the Citan is not too dissimilar from its Renault cousin. 

Offering a dependable and efficient engine matched with comfort and ample space, there’s a lot to get for your money. What’s more, there are a versatile range of body lengths available to suit your storage needs. 

Peugeot Bipper

Capable and functional, the Bipper is a small van with a big heart. If you’ve got your eyes set on an inexpensive to run and cheap to buy vehicle, your search is over, my friend. 

Storage is no issue with the Bipper either, as it can carry anything up to 610kg. Nippy and efficient on the roads, you can easily bag yourself a bargain with modest mileage to boot.
