Summary

Parkers Rating:

2.5 out of 5

Mercedes-Benz has two distinct divisions. The car side is renowned for large, plush saloons and sports cars with eye-watering performance. Then there's the van side, that manufacturers the Vito, Sprinter and heavy-duty trucks. Vaneo comes from the commercial side of the company, but with significant input from Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. It's a five-seater, although you can have an extra two seats fitted as an option.

What owners say...

 It is fantastic for lugging things around, easy access and not too low for lifting things in and out.

 The size of the boot, bit enough for a wash machine and dryer at the same time
