I'm dead set on a Hiace, almost had my hands on a cracking 2010 ex MOD model last weekend but someone got in there before me,
It seems decent hiaces are hard to come by,
Trying to broaden my choices,
What's People's take on the Vito? Expensive to run/maintenance? Reliable?

If older than a certain age (2004??) prone to serious rust. After that they were properly galvanized, so not a problem.

Yup, I'd be looking beyond the rusty models but my main concern is the cost of maintenance, anyone have any experience?

I'm not sure that's true as I've seen quite a few later rusty examples

It's was mentioned earlier that any Transporter at £7k will either be high mileage or have undisclosed issues,
Can we confirm this?

I do love the look of the Transporter and would be looking at one with around 120k on the clock.

No hard and fast rules but if i was looking at a 7k transporter I'd be going with a very cynical head on looking for the hidden issue if it wSnt obvious
