VN Automóveis – other models: the Caddy 4motion, Canter and Blix-3M bodies, four-cylinder engines of 1,896 to 2,998 cc, kerb weight 1,449 to 2,765 kg
VN Automóveis is the register's name under which several light commercial vehicles from different base manufacturers are grouped: the VW Caddy with a 1.9-litre TDI engine and 4motion four-wheel drive, the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter as a light truck, and two body variants of the Transporter/Blix-3M on a further chassis. The Dutch suffix "Bestel" on the Caddy entry shows that the vehicles on this page come from a registration record with a Dutch vehicle description.

The register lists 4 versions with 1,896 to 2,998 cc from four-cylinder engines, kerb weights of 1,449 to 2,765 kg at a gross vehicle weight of 2,149 to 3,500 kg, a length of 5,300 mm and widths of 1,800 to 2,060 mm.
The combination of a compact van such as the Caddy, a light truck such as the Canter, and individual Blix-3M bodies illustrates the breadth of small commercial registrations in this market segment, from trade vehicles to delivery vans. The wide spread in gross vehicle weight, from 2.1 to 3.5 t, shows how differently these vehicles are used day to day.
When buying used, different points matter depending on the base vehicle: on the Caddy, the four-wheel-drive system and timing chain; on the Canter, the frame, brakes and clutch of a light truck; and on the Blix-3M bodies, the proper attachment to the chassis and corrosion at the connection points. Spare parts for the base vehicles are supplied by their respective brand networks; for the Blix-3M body itself, only its manufacturer.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
