Ask yourself if you ever use your van in a ULEZ zone or if you might be affected by that in the near future, if that's an issue you might want to rule out the Euro 5 van.
If not that then that van might be the best value van on your list, it's probably likely to be the most reliable in the future. You don't say if it's five speed or six speed, the six speed is the stronger gearbox and better if you do a lot of motorway miles.

I’d go 2019 tailgate from that shortlist.

I've got a 2018 Highline with the tailgate and based on my experience I would pick the 2019 Highline.

2019 Tailgate would be my choice. Obvs if in good condition etc

Everybody picks the most expensive van, that's the thing about this forum we can spend your money quicker than you can earn it!

£27k is strong money for a 2019 van. Unless it’s maybe a top spec with dsg etc.

 

[z1ts]

dsg etc

All manual I think the OP said (in which case is too much, unless a lot of toys included)

It’s strong money that. My mate sold his 19 plate 204 biturbo highline Kombi with dsg for less a few months ago.

Are those prices retail from a dealer or from private sellers?

 

[Lubrown]

Found one… 2020, euro6, 74.5k miles and £14.8k plus vat.

Funny badge though

Where is it advertised, I'm seeing loads especially on ebay, all being sold by People with little feedback and the description sounds like its written by a foreigner or AI

It was a bit of a tongue in cheek post as I have been surprised by how much better value used Vitos look, even at main dealers, compared with transporters of the same age.

They even have a gunmetal grey Kombi, MWB, with auto box for 18k. Can’t remember the age or mileage as I type but I know it wasn’t that bad for either.

Having spent quite a bit on making the suspension of my Transporter bareable, fixing the DMF and having the cam belt changed I think I’d consider a Vito if I were in the market for another van. Of course, Mercs might have their own issues and I guess the parts aren’t any cheaper and choice in aftermarket bits less extensive, even so VW seem to have a few issues you wouldn’t expect at the premium price.
