I have a Merc Vito Duoliner SWB. 5 seats and side windows make it fit the big car category in everything – tax, insurance, no need for a tip licence etc. I needed it as the family car when the S-Max was too small. Its been absolutely perfect for bikes (can fit 6), bike races, a changing room, mud, dogs, band PA, sofas and camping gear. Take the seats out and its a cavernous monster van.
Way better value than the overrated overpriced VWs.
The only problem we ever have is indoor car park height restrictions – most are too low.
And front tyres. Vito’s are known to eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner.
I am about to sell it, now time to downsize to a big estate since less of the list is now needed. 2008 110kmiles
PM me if you want the details. (Or anyone else reading this thread who might want one)
