Used MAN TGE Vans for Sale

Ran a 3.140 MWB high roof on multi drop for four years. To drive its brilliant, honestly the most car like big van ive had, quiet on the motorway and comfortable enough to sit in for a ten hour day. Its a Crafter underneath, same factory in Poland, so no real surprises mechanically. Two things soured it though. First, the cam belt is 80k or 4 years whichever comes first and nobody at the service centre ever flagged it to me. Mine let go at 94k and the rebuild came to about 5 grand. Check the paperwork obsessively if your buying one used. Second, the dealers are truck places and vans come last - dropped mine off at 7am once and they hadnt touched it by half three. £376 for an oil change and inspection and they overfilled it, i had to drain a litre out myself to get it back on the max mark. Economy is about 30 mpg in the real world, the 38 they claim is fantasy.

We had ours converted into a two berth camper and as a base vehicle its hard to beat. The 140 is plenty, it drives like a big car and were getting about 28 mpg with all the conversion weight in. Couple of warnings for anyone thinking of doing the same. The AdBlue system is temperamental - ours threw a warning with a full tank and it turned out to be a NOx sensor, and the heater inside the tank is known for giving up in proper cold weather. Also, because we only really use it spring to autumn, the battery kept going flat on us. The electrics stay awake for a good while after you lock it and the habitation gear drains it as well, so we ended up fitting a solar panel. And the big one - the warranty clock starts when the van leaves the factory, not when you buy it, and a converted camper only gets 2 years rather than 3. Ours had months of it gone before we even collected the thing and nobody mentioned that at the point of sale.
