The register lists here 5 versions with displacement from 1,971 to 2,497 cm³ from four-cylinder engines, unladen weights from 2,300 to 2,540 kg, gross vehicle weights from 2,800 to 2,900 kg and widths from 2,190 to 2,300 mm.

With a gross vehicle weight just under 3 tonnes and a width above 2.1 metres, the range belongs to the light-to-medium commercial vehicles common in distribution transport and for various types of bodywork; the four MC versions differ mainly in displacement and unladen weight, while width and gross vehicle weight stay close together.

When buying used in this vehicle class, key points are rust on the frame and load floor, the condition of brakes and suspension under the permitted load, the state of the wiring loom on older examples, and the tightness of the body and doors; engine and chassis parts are usually supplied through independent commercial vehicle workshops, while body panels often have to be sourced individually from specialist suppliers.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
