For this model, built in 2010, the register lists a four-cylinder engine of 2,287 cc, a gross weight of 3,500 kg against a kerb weight of 3,010 kg, giving a payload of 490 kg. The wheelbase is 4,900 mm, the width 2,330 mm.
With a wheelbase of 4,900 mm, the Univan 35-12 is among the longer versions in its weight class, allowing for a correspondingly long box body. The comparatively low payload of 490 kg against a gross weight of 3,500 kg shows that the kerb weight of the long body already takes up a large share of the total mass. At 3,500 kg the vehicle stays within category N1 and can be driven on a category B licence.
When buying a used long box van of this type, the condition of the box body matters, particularly the seal of the roof and side walls and the condition of the load doors on the long side wall. Also important is the condition of the clutch and gearbox of the four-cylinder engine, and the function of the braking system, which is put under particular strain given such a long wheelbase.
