I'm tentively looking around for possibilities for our next van.

Had one an 2005, and flogged it, nice van, made good money on it.

I think luck comes into it a lot with the various manufacturers but not sure why. You find people with an old low cost van that have never had a problem with either hab or chassis/engine/cab then someone spends over £100k and has endless problems.

Other than Bonnet respray( I wanted it to look better not worse ) I did the repairs myself, so cost are just parts. . Thinking back to the previous one, 2005 x240 chassis I can't recall any repair at all in about 30k miles 5yrs., thou the clutch thrust bearing was rattling when I bought it and still when I sold it .

Agree completely about the front dinette waste of space , not comfortable to lounge at unless you have two captains chairs that can reach it, which usually means compromise somewhere else.

I asked Chatgpt to have a go at a search, and to supply links.

select (champagne) 122 owner and driver here, our is manual because I hate automatics but apart from that it does exactly what you ask. It's much better than the newer carrera version for storage etc. Fab van. If I were rich I might got for the Warwick duo (not xl) for apparent better build quality - but then I'd have to take out the microwave and do something about it's wardrobe. - the wardrobe in the 122 makes a fab pantry
