Which is the better van, a 2014 Ford Transit Connect or a Volkswagen Caddy?
Asked on 19 February 2018 by Brian Davies

Both are classy and capable mid-size vans; however, when it comes to all-important reliability, the Volkswagen has a poor reputation compared to the Ford. EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valves are a known weak point on the Caddy and DSG automatic transmissions are also problematic, with a replacement costing as much as £6000.
If I was buying a used van, I'd choose the Ford Transit Connect every time.

I am thinking of buying a used van. I’ve seen a 2014 Ford Transit Connect for sale, but it has 101,000 miles on the clock. Is this too many?

I need your advice on the most reliable pick-up truck. What model would you recommend?
