The Transit has to be the best for durability - beats the Renault / GM / Nissan and the Fiat / Peugeot / Citroën equivalents by a long way.
However, the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and VW Crafter (essentially the same van with different front end styling) may come close, and are available in ever larger variants. The old Sprinter and VW LT were OK for durability, but not as good as Transit.
The LDV Maxus is an excellent van, but I don't yet know about durability - its too new.

For me its gota be the sprinter. I drove multidrop for 6 years and
for performance and available space in the back the merc is unbeatable.
Depends what your using it for i suppose. if its long *** journeys your doing then the transits really comfortable, for getting from A2B asap then pick the sprinter. DONT BUY ANYTHING ELSE!!
FIAT, RENAULT and LDV are rubbish!
transits a good machine but struggles wen its fully loaded. also the engine tends to suffer after 75000 where as the merc will motor on well til over 150000

Having driven both EWB HT Sprinters & Transits (Extended Wheelbase High Top) I have to say that the Sprinter is nicer to drive, but the Transit is better at load carrying.

That has got to be the ford transit long wheel base. Cheap as chips to maintain. Very reliable and the 2.5d engine runs forever and ever. Don't buy a Renault they are VERY unreliable.
