    New or 2nd hand?. Not sure off hand but I think the only small van that has 3 seats is the new partner . Other than that your looking at bigger vans like the Expert/Dispatch/Trafic/Transit/Transporter.

    Peugeot Partner, Fiat Scudo and Citroen Dispatch are pretty much the same van, made in the same factory if I'm not mistaken. I had a Fiat Scudo for a few years and found it excellent,very reliable and very economical.

    The Partner only has 2 seats.
    The Peugeot Expert has three afaik.

    The New model Berlingo has the option of 3 front seats, so I would say the Partner does too.

    The Scudo and Dispatch are the same as the Peugeot Expert, which the a size up from the Partner.


    The new partner is available with 3 seats though.

    The scudo has a different engine to the expert/dispatch.
    Whichever one you go for, try to get a Turbo diesel version.

    No body has mentioned the mercedes vito which is reasonably small and has 3 seats and is probably a better van than the french made ones
