Utility Truck Hire

[madcampbell]

Hi All
Our centre mini bus has just had an failed it's mot in an epic style!! mostly welding (yes it’s a ford) The garage quoted £3200 inc vat to get it back on the road ...even if that is twice as much as the work is worth it has to go. I am looking for a good deal on a 5 or 7 seat work horse with 4x4 capabilities.
Anyone know of any good offers on a lease vehicle paid monthly with all inc service mot....obviously not fuel!!
Cheers
Mark

There's not many easy 4x4 Van options if you want new, the VW Transporter Syncro is the only one that comes to mind.

There are a few Transit 4x4's the utility companys used to use, but don't recall seeing many new ones, onyl old abused ones.

How about a Commercial Land Cruiser? I'd try and avoid Defenders or painted rear window Disco's

How capable does it need to be off-road?

There's the Hyundai Santa Fe, the previosly mentioned Disco, Defender or Cruiser, or the likes of the 7 seater Audi or Volvo estates, although a lack of legs might be handy for those in the back row.

Does the Vito come with 4WD?
