I need an efficient van
I drive a long way on the motorway hauling quite heavy loads of metal, so I need a capable van, but I want to save a bit of cash on diesel. Is there anything out there?

Obviously if you're carrying heavy stuff you'll need a van with a decent payload rating, so vehicles like the longer wheelbase Iveco Daily, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Vauhall Movano make sense. Fuel economy is very dependent on load and configuration, but official figures are around 30mpg for these three.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
Honest Used Car Prices
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
