Anyone had any off these vans

[dd]

Would not go for either. nissan have a terrible reputation for reliability and as a brand mercedes are not good either.

The Merc is just a rebadged Renault Kangoo I think, so you are not getting a Merc mechanics just the badge/front grill and maybe a bit of interior trim!!!
For some reason the Nissans seem to hold their value very well, no idea on reliability.

Really?

I have a nv 200 , had it 4 years never missed a beat .

Yes really. If you read the annual What Car reliability surveys and the Which annual reliability survey, mercedes fares badly. The only thing reliable about them is how badly they have done in the last few years.

It is the kind of thing I always take an interest in as reliability is the biggest factor i consider when buying a new car.

I have a Mercedes and it scores very highly on all the reviews. Some of these ‘surveys’ are more unreliable than the car they are trying to claim is unreliable.

Mercedes as a manufacturer fares very badly. There may be one or two models they make that are better, but the only thing I can go on when looking at the likely reliability of any new vehicle I buy is well respected reliability surveys.

I am not making this up. I make a point to read them each year.

Agreed, by buying a Mercedes Citan, don’t think you are buying quality in any way, shape or form, it is a Renault in disguise.

Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes all fare badly in these often flawed surveys, there are many other reasons for this other than reliability alone. Would it stop me buying any of them? Not a chance. I respect your view and opinion  all the same.

I has a Nissan NV 200 for over 6 years, good, reliable van. When Nissan "upgraded" the model they went to the NV250, a rebadged Renault Kangoo, same as the Merc, a step backwards in my opinion.
I replaced it with a Transit Connect L2 auto, a brilliant van.
Got a good price selling the Nissan privately, so they do hold their money.

There was a time when Mercedes-Benz cars were the most reliable on the planet. All the taxi drivers on the continent used to love them and no self respecting African dictator would be seen without one to stand up and get shot at in.

Now they are just another mid range car or van.

I agree with that to a certain extent. Most of the big brands have diversified in order to capture a larger share of the market.  Their target market has also changed. You just have to look at the amount of Mercedes A class and BMW 1 series on the roads. The Mercedes A35 in particular is a favourite for the young boy racers of today!
That said their ‘flagship’ models still ooze quality.

Anyone know what size tank the nv200 will Carry

Anyone know what size tank the nv200 will Carry

Depending on the battery pack  size and the year of the van it seems to be a payload between 680kg to 739kg.

So I suggest a 400L max?

[jk999]

Ok cheers 🙂👍

[Stoots]

The Mercedes citan probably gets the worse reviews out of any van on the market.

Premium price for a rebadged Renault.

Would avoid.

[lozsing]

I have a 350l tank in mine

[jk999]

🙂👍

We have a 500 litre in the nv200, great van
