Would you recommend a Ford Transit Custom or a Volkswagen Caddy?
Which is the better van, a 2014 Ford Transit Connect or a Volkswagen Caddy?

Both are classy and capable mid-size vans; however, when it comes to all-important reliability, the Volkswagen has a poor reputation compared to the Ford. EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valves are a known weak point on the Caddy and DSG automatic transmissions are also problematic, with a replacement costing as much as £6000.
If I was buying a used van, I'd choose the Ford Transit Connect every time.

I bought a van off eBay which stated it had done 72,000 miles. When I went to collect it the owner said it was hard to find one with such low mileage. It turns out that the millage is closer to 200,000....
