Used Renault Kangoo Van Finance

The Renault Kangoo for couriers, carers and short-hop rounds

The Kangoo has been sold in the UK since the late 1990s, so there are plenty on the used market. Couriers, care providers and mobile trades use it for short, frequent trips, helped by a low load floor, easy access and an economical engine.

It also has a long electric history. Electric Kangoos have been sold since 2011, and early Kangoo Z.E. vans came with the battery leased separately. Later UK vans could be bought with the battery included, and the current Kangoo E-Tech comes with its battery. Check the paperwork on any electric example. The current Mercedes-Benz Citan and the Nissan Townstar are built on the third-generation Kangoo.

Because most older Kangoos are cheaper than our lenders’ minimum, a later van is the realistic starting point. A short enquiry then shows what looks workable. Finance is subject to status.

Kangoo sizes, generations and checks

• Generations: the second generation (2008 to 2021) in Compact, standard and long Maxi lengths, and the third generation from 2021 in L1 and L2 lengths with a more modern cab. Some third-generation vans have a pillarless "Open Sesame" side door, which gives a much wider side opening.
• Body sizes: load volumes of roughly 2.5 to 4.9 cubic metres across the range.
• Payload: up to roughly 800 kg.
• Engines: small diesels for working mileage, petrol for light use, and electric versions. Match the fuel to your mileage.
• What to check: side-door and rear-door operation, clutch wear on vans used for frequent stops, and, on electric examples, the battery’s condition and whether it is owned or leased.

Kangoo prices and a monthly cost example

A used Renault Kangoo typically sells for around £4,000 to £18,000, with early vans and high-mileage examples at the bottom and newer, low-mileage third-generation vans at the top. The minimum lend is £10,000 excluding VAT and after deposit, so the van needs to cost around £12,000 or more. Most used Kangoos are cheaper than that, so in practice a third-generation diesel, petrol or E-Tech van is needed.

For a third-generation Kangoo at about £17,500 with a £3,250 deposit, the amount to finance is £14,250. Representative example: £14,250 over 36 months at 9.9% APR representative works out at £456.32 a month, or £16,427.52 in total across the 36 payments (excluding deposit and fees).

VAT on a used Kangoo

Kangoos are sold both by VAT-registered fleets and by private owners, so the invoice decides whether any VAT can be reclaimed. A van sold under a dealer’s margin scheme carries no reclaimable VAT. See our VAT guide.

Finance for a small working van

A hire purchase agreement over three or four years suits a Kangoo kept as a working van. A finance lease may suit a VAT-registered business that wants lower rentals. If you are a courier, our courier van finance page explains how delivery work is looked at.
