Nissan NV200

Looking for an affordable small van that will cut your running costs to the bone? Nissan has recently axed the NV200 from its commercial vehicle line-up, which means there are lots of deals on 2019 models. Despite its small exterior dimensions it's surprisingly practical with a cargo floor that stretched two metres long.
