How many miles do you drive per annum ?

We recently sold our Peugeot partner ( same as a berlingo) - it was great for transporting the family. We moved on to a vw t5 transporter. This carries all of our bikes (5) fully assembled...

If you are doing big commutes/ spending significant time in the motorway at high speed then I would consider how well either motor crashes/travels.....our Peugeot van was a 1.9d - on long journeys it was like being inside a baked bean tin and I would want to have crashed in it...

If you go for a berlingo avoid the 1.6 diesel as there are far too many horror stories of turbo problems. Don't assume a new/recent turbo is the answer either as unless a very long process is followed they can break again very quickly.

Allfankledup - seem the outcome of a crash on the motorway at 70 on the way to dunfries - the wee van actually held up very well after rolling down the road - how ever it made me think about securing our bikes better in the back .....
