Mercedes-Benz Citan kopen

Which Citan version suits your work?

The Mercedes-Benz Citan is available as a panel van and as a Tourer with a second row of seats, and that choice directly determines what you can use the vehicle for. Depending on the wheelbase, the panel van has a load volume of roughly 2.4 to 3.4 m³ and a payload of up to about 800 kg, ample for parcels, tools or installation materials. Thanks to its compact exterior dimensions, the Citan manoeuvres easily through city centres and narrow streets, making it popular among couriers and installers who drive in the city on a daily basis. If you consistently need more load volume, also consider the Mercedes-Benz Vito as an intermediate step.

What should you look out for when buying a used Citan?

Always ask for the maintenance booklet and check when the timing belt or chain was last replaced; many Citan engines have an interval of roughly 5 to 6 years or 120,000 to 160,000 km, and skipping this can lead to costly engine damage. Inspect the wheel arches, sills and rear doors for rust, a known concern for compact commercial vehicles that have spent a lot of time in the city and at loading and unloading spots. Take a test drive and pay attention to the clutch and, in an automatic, to smooth shifting without hesitation. Also check the load compartment for signs of previous commercial use.

Buying or financial leasing: what suits your situation?

When buying a used Citan, you pay off the vehicle immediately and become full owner from day one, which can be advantageous if you can finance the purchase from your own funds. Financial lease is attractive if you want to preserve your working capital: you lease the vehicle, can take it over at the end of the term, and the payments are often tax-deductible if you use it for business. At Tatev Auto, financial lease up to 100% is available, including for start-ups and self-employed entrepreneurs, with a term of up to 72 months, and your current commercial vehicle can be traded in to reduce the initial cost.

Mercedes-Benz Citan compared to other compact vans

In the compact segment, the Citan competes mainly with models such as the Citroën Berlingo, which are close in terms of size and payload. The biggest difference often lies in driving feel, finish and service network: the Citan benefits from the Mercedes dealer network, which for some business owners provides a bit more assurance when it comes to maintenance and parts. If you're purely after the lowest entry price, a comparable Berlingo could be interesting; if you want a compact commercial vehicle from a brand that also supplies your passenger cars, the Citan is a logical choice.
