The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has been named the most reliable van by the UK's largest leasing companies for the eighth consecutive year.
Mercedes-Benz has also regained the title as the most reliable van manufacturer.
The accolades were announced by Fleet News' group editor Stephen Briers at the FN50 Dinner on November 1. Pictures from the night.
The results are based on the FN50 research.
Fleet News asked leasing companies to consider the brands and vans they had on fleet over the previous 12 months and list the most reliable ones based on the average number of days off the road with unplanned mechanical problems (but not including punctures).
