The 2.3-litre four-cylinder diesel with a six-speed gearbox produces 120 kW, the stronger of the engines common in this series. At 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight and 2,505 kg kerb weight, the payload comes to around 1,000 kg. At 6,240 mm overall length and 2,115 mm width, the vehicle counts among the long body versions.

At 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight the Master stays in EU category N1 and can be driven on a category B licence. The combination of a strong engine and six-speed gearbox eases driving under full load on gradients and in long-distance haulage, where low engine speed at cruising speed reduces fuel consumption.

On a body of this length, it is worth checking the rear overhang and the connection of the body frame to the chassis, since long bodies put more strain on the bolted mounting points than short panel vans. The 2.3-litre dCi engine with 120 kW needs regular checks of the turbocharger and intercooler system, as boost leaks show up quickly as lost power on a fully laden vehicle. The six-speed gearbox should be checked for smooth gear changes without clutch judder, and the load floor for damage from repeated loading and unloading.
