Mercedes-Benz Vans  has teamed up with Allianz Partners to launch a new Approved Used Van Programme which offers a 24-month warranty on vehicles up to four years old.

The scheme, believed to be a first of its kind in the industry, also ensures that vans between four to six years old will be covered by a minimum of 12 months warranty with retailers also able to offer customers the option to upgrade to 24 months warranty.

Mick Glover, head of Used Van Remarketing at Mercedes-Benz Vans UK Ltd, said: “We’re proud to be launching a new 24-month warranty across our Approved Used Van Programme in response to the changing demands of our vast range of customers.

“With the support from Allianz Partners on our Approved Used Programme, we are proud to continue keeping businesses moving and fulfil the needs of the hard-working van drivers on the road today.”

Liz Grindell, Head of Warranty and F & I at Allianz Partners UK, added: “Once again Allianz Partners is the first choice for leading manufacturers looking to give their dealers that competitive edge.

“By working closely with Mercedes-Benz we are enabling them to expand their warranty cover for van owners, offering an unrivalled range of options that boost customer confidence in the quality of its Approved Used stock.
