What's the best medium van on a budget?

I am looking to get a new van for around £3500 to £4000. I'm looking at a Vauxhall Vivaro size van but which is better - Vauxhall, Nissan or Ford?

When it comes to buying a used van you want to aim for those that are plentiful on the used market. This way you'll get the best choice when it comes to age, condition and (most importantly of all) price.

For your budget I'd recommend:

- Ford Transit: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/van-reviews/ford/transit-200.../
- Renault Trafic: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/van-reviews/renault/trafic-2.../
- Nissan NV200: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/van-reviews/nissan/nv200-200.../
