I want to get a van so I can transport a motorbike to trackdays. Will use the van for daily 30 mile round trip to work. Have ruled out a car and trailer solution.

I don't know much about vans so would appreciate any advice people have to give. I'm drawn to either a Transit Custom or Renault Trafic. Transit looks the best to my eyes and it's supposed to be the best steer. I've read a few stories about dodgy engines though. Equivalent Trafic seems to have slightly better equipment for the same money.

My search criteria on Autotrader is 2016 onwards, up to 50000 miles, >120bhp, SWB. Age and mileage are just a guess at sensible parameters really. I want a bit of poke to dispatch dawdlers.

Budget is £15-18k ish (including VAT).

Must have AC and Bluetooth. No silly body kits/stripes. Any colour but white (and yellow for Transit to avoid looking like the AA).

I'm obviously a bit of a strange case to the typical van owner. It will spend most of the time unladen and generally have a fairly easy life.

I'm based in Reading if that makes any odds.

Thanks the Vito does look quite good actually.

Thanks for the tip RE Transit engine too. Will help narrow the search.
