Used Petrol Vans For Sale

Petrol vans for sale with heycar

Petrol vans have become increasingly popular of late, as restrictions on diesel vans started to tighten in urban areas in the UK and further afield. In a bid to reduce polluting emissions, van makers quickly turned to petrol equivalents, which emit lower levels of nitrogen oxides. Buying a used petrol van can make a lot of sense, particularly in towns and cities. With approved used, low mileage examples starting from less than £10,000, why not check out heycar's range used petrol vans for sale?

Why buy a used petrol van? 

Used petrol vans can be very attractive to both businesses and private users that want to avoid expensive city charges such as London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone, which penalises many diesel vans. They're also better for the local environment thanks to reduced pollutants. Petrol vans tend to be considerably cheaper than a used hybrid or used electric van, and offer a smoother and quieter driving experience than diesel equivalents. 

What are the best makes and models of used petrol van? 

Notabvle used petrol vans include the Ford Transit Courier and Ford Transit Connect, which are small vans  that come with a punchy yet efficient 1.0-litre Ecoboost turbo petrol engine. We also rate the affordable Volkswagen Caddy 1.2 TSI and powerful Volkswagen Transporter 2.0 TSI. Other great choices include the Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot Partner, both of which available with an excellent 1.2-litre Puretech petrol engine, and the Vauxhall Combo 1.4.

What should I look for when buying a used petrol van?

The biggest barrier to buying a used petrol van is that, compared to diesel, there are far fewer of them available for sale, which means your options could be limited. You’ll also need to consider your mileage and fuel economy, as petrol vans are usually less efficient than a diesel over high miles. And although modern petrol engines are very durable, for intensive use cases a diesel van might stand up better to being used and abused.
