What should you look out for with a used Fiat van?

When buying a used van, always check the maintenance booklet and APK history: this shows whether the timing belt, brakes and oil have been replaced on time. With a Fiat Ducato or Scudo specifically, pay attention to rust around the wheel arches, load floor and rear doors, as commercial vehicles cover many kilometres with varying loads. Also inspect the condition of the cargo area: dents, leaks or a worn floor say a lot about how heavily the vehicle has been used. In addition, ask about the maintenance history at a brand dealer or specialised workshop, and test during a test drive whether the clutch and gearbox shift smoothly under load. A vehicle that is delivered ready to drive and APK (MOT/TÜV) approved immediately saves you extra costs after purchase.

Fiat Ducato or Fiat Scudo: which size suits your work?

The Fiat Ducato is the largest van in the Fiat line-up and lends itself to removals, construction transport and large deliveries thanks to its generous load volume and high load capacity. The more compact Fiat Scudo is more agile in the city and suits service technicians, installers and couriers who park and load more often at tight locations. If you mainly drive on the motorway with a full load, choose the Ducato in a longer or higher version. If you're active in the city centre daily, the Scudo saves you time and fuel without sacrificing much load capacity.

Buying a commercial vehicle or financial lease: which is more advantageous?

With a purchase, you pay in one go, become the owner immediately and have no ongoing monthly costs once the vehicle is paid off; this is attractive if you have capital available and want to keep the van for a long time. Financial lease spreads the purchase over a term of up to 72 months, keeping your working capital available for other investments. Even as a start-up or self-employed professional without a long track record, financial lease is often feasible, up to 100% of the purchase price. When weighing up the choice, consider your mileage, how long you want to use the vehicle, and whether you prefer to have the van as an asset on the balance sheet or as a fixed monthly cost in your operations.

N1 registration and a 3-seater cab: why this is often handy

Many vans, including the Fiat Ducato, are available with N1 registration (grey licence plate), which can be favourable for motor vehicle tax when used for business purposes. A 3-seater cab is popular among contractors and installation companies because it allows you to transport a complete team and tools in one vehicle, without needing a second car. With a 3-seat version, however, pay attention to the maximum load capacity: with three people on board, the remaining load capacity in the cargo area decreases. If you have doubts about registration, additional tax charges or tax rules, always check with your accountant or the RDW, as rules can vary per situation.
