Opel Vivaro kopen

Which Opel Vivaro version suits your work?

The Opel Vivaro comes in several lengths and heights, and that choice mainly determines how usable the van is for your daily work. A shorter L1H1 version handles nimbly around town and is ideal for couriers and installers who mainly work within built-up areas. If you regularly carry long boards, ladders or pallets, a longer L2 or L3 version offers more load space without making the van unwieldy. If you work with a team and need to bring tools along, consider the double cab (DC): an extra row of seats for the crew, at the expense of some load space. When choosing, also pay attention to the load capacity: this differs per version and weight class, so check whether your cargo and trailer stay within the permitted mass.

What should you watch out for with a used Opel Vivaro?

A Vivaro has often had a working life behind it, so check the load floor and interior walls for dents, cracks or rusted-through spots from years of heavy use. Always ask for the maintenance booklet: on the diesel engines (CDTI), it's important to know whether the timing belt or chain has been replaced on time, since a missed service can cause major engine damage. Vehicles that have made a lot of short trips may suffer from a clogged particulate filter (DPF); ask whether this has recently been burned clean or replaced. Also check the wheel arches and chassis for rust, compare the mileage with the APK (MOT/TÜV) history, and during a test drive check whether the clutch and gearbox shift smoothly without unusual noises.

Buy an Opel Vivaro or take out financial lease?

If you buy the van outright with cash, you become the owner immediately and have no monthly obligation, but you do tie up a large amount right away. Financial lease spreads the purchase over a term of up to 72 months and is available at Tatev Auto up to 100%, even without a large down payment — suitable for starters and self-employed entrepreneurs who prefer to use their working capital for materials or staff. As an entrepreneur, with financial lease the Vivaro is put on the balance sheet, allowing you to depreciate it and usually reclaim the VAT, just as with a purchase. Do you have a current company vehicle? You can trade it in, which directly lowers the purchase price or the monthly payments.

Opel Vivaro compared with the Renault Trafic and Peugeot Expert

The Opel Vivaro is technically closely related to the Renault Trafic and, since the generation from 2019 onward, also to the Peugeot Expert and Citroën Jumpy: the same platforms, engines and often the same parts. This means maintenance and repairs are usually just as affordable as with these popular models, with a wide range of used parts available. The choice between these siblings often comes down to price, availability and personal preference for the interior or dashboard, since the driving characteristics differ little. If you're torn between brands, it's smart to compare model years and engine variants side by side rather than choosing on brand name alone.
