An Independent view

We are an independent light commercial vehicle dealer established almost 10 years ago.The vito does have it`s faults.Pre 2007 bad for bodywork rust,Heavy on anti roll bar bushes ( £4.40 each ),window regulators,rear coil springs fracturing.In spite of these faults i would always recommend the Vito over any of it`s competition including the VW.Why?? because in the last 10 years we have sold over 500 Vito`s without what i would consider one major problem i.e engine,gearbox.We also find the parts are quite possibly the cheapest of any manufacturer maybe with the exception of Ford,the parts availability is brilliant,the dealers are mainly open 24hrs a day unlike any other van manufacturer.So if i do get a problem with a Vito i can solve it quickly and relatively cheaply.We think the VW has superior build quality and drives better but are bad for clutches,turbo`s,gearboxes,intercoolers and the parts prices are way more than MB.
