Used Renault Trafic

As a medium van, the Trafic offers decent fuel economy. There's the option of a few diesel engines usually seen in the 1.6-litre guise, with later models opting for a 2.0-litre unit.

These engines will return around 40mpg (WLTP) usually, whilst some can return circa 50mpg depending on exact model and load being carried.

If you're wanting a Trafic for towing purposes, maximum towing capacity is 750kg for unbraked trailers, whilst up to 2,500kg for braked trailers, depending on the variant.

As for overall performance, the engines have been produced for a while now. These offer dependable driving, and the torque helps when carrying heavier loads or towing via a trailer.

Interior quality of the Trafic is good with typical Renault style, which sets it apart from the Vauxhall Vivaro it shares DNA with.

The 2022 update lifts the interior further, but older models still offer decent functionality despite the lack of style van interiors are perhaps known for.

Later models are the best bet if you want better kit as standard. 2022 Start (entry-level) models come with a smart 3.5-inch infotainment screen with DAB, Bluetooth etc, heated door mirrors and even an alarm and immobiliser.

There has been a few safety recalls on early models from 2014 onwards, but later models are much better for their safety, with the following kit available with certain specs from 2022:

• Traffic sign recognition
• Blindspot warning
• Active emergency braking
• Adaptive cruise control
• LED headlights
