The four-cylinder diesel engine has a displacement of 2,299cc. With a gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg and an unladen weight of 2,180kg, a payload of 1,320kg remains. At 6,660mm long, with a 4,330mm wheelbase and 2,220mm width on four wheels, the vehicle has a long body at a comparatively low unladen weight; the top speed is 151km/h.
A payload of 1,320kg against a gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg is a high figure for a van of this length and points to a lightweight body construction. With a gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg, the vehicle stays within EU category N1 and can be driven on a category B licence.
When buying a used light distribution truck of this kind, the condition of the body mounting and floor panel matters most, as these need checking for cracking given the lightweight construction, along with corrosion on the rear overhang. The brakes and the condition of the load doors, under heavy strain from daily distribution work, are also worth checking. The condition of the towbar, if the vehicle is fitted with one, and the working order of the body's lighting are also worth checking.
