Ask NBS Finance →Is the Trafic worth considering?
Trafic makes a persuasive value-led alternative to Transit Custom and Transporter. Its low-roof panel vans carry useful volume and the load-through hatch is excellent for pipes or timber, although current body-height choice is more limited than some rivals.
Suitable use
Trades, fitters, flooring businesses, delivery fleets and buyers prioritising load length and value.
What to watch
The quoted 4.15m length relies on the L2 load-through bulkhead, not an unobstructed full-width floor. Confirm payload because trim and equipment change it.
Running-cost considerations
A straightforward diesel medium van can suit mixed and longer-distance work. Compare service intervals, warranty, tyres and real transaction price rather than fuel economy alone.
Resale considerations
Trafic has a broad UK user base, though used values may not mirror a Transporter. Buying at the right price and keeping a full history can protect the ownership case.

Questions people ask about the Trafic
Answers use current manufacturer material and are written to help buyers compare the exact derivative—not just the badge.
Is the Renault Trafic a good van?
Yes. It is a spacious, straightforward medium van that often makes particular sense when purchase value and long-load ability matter.
How much space is in a Trafic?
Renault currently lists 5.8m³ for L1H1 and 7.8m³ for L2H1 panel vans.
How long is the Trafic load area?
The normal floor is 2,537mm in L1 and 2,937mm in L2. A load-through hatch extends narrow-item capacity to 3,750mm or 4,150mm.
Can a Trafic carry one tonne?
Some current panel vans have a published maximum above one tonne. Confirm the exact derivative and subtract people, racking and equipment.
Short or long wheelbase?
L1 is easier to place and may be enough for tools; L2 adds 400mm of floor length and substantially more quoted volume.
Trafic or Transit Custom?
Trafic can win on space and price; Transit Custom offers enormous range and strong demand. Compare exact payload, specification and buying price.
Trafic or Primastar?
They are closely related. Warranty, equipment, dealer access and the actual deal are likely to matter more than mechanical differences.
Is there a crew van?
Yes. Renault lists a six-seat L2 crew cab, but its 4.0m³ load volume and 1,819mm floor length are lower than the panel van.
Is it suitable for carrying pipes?
The load-through hatch is designed for long narrow items, but confirm their cross-section, safe restraint and any passenger-space intrusion.
What should I confirm on a Trafic quote?
Check body length, gross weight, payload, engine output, gearbox, trim, doors, load-through bulkhead and final on-road commercial price.
