Road Tests: Renault Premium 420.25 6x2L AML (used)

While the Premium might not be every driver's cup of tea, it's always worth remembering that road transport isn't a consumer led industry. If you spend, it comes out of the bottom line - choose poorly and it could cost you your business. Market perception has always been an issue with the Premium, perhaps in part due to its price against more 'prestige' motors, but get your drivers inside one and they'll be won over. When it comes to cost of ownership, it is low enough to be near the top of the pile. If you are based up on a mountain or down a valley, or if you have to tackle undulating motorway-free countryside at full GVW on a regular basis, perhaps you should look at something more powerful, if only to get there quicker - there is no guaruntee it will be any more fuel efficient. However, if you run around less challenging intercity motorway and dual carraigeway routes across the UK, our trial results show WU52 YLC will work for you without letting you down. It offers workmanlike fuel economy, is comparatively cheap, has a clean service history and is ready to work. With the shortage of late-year, low-mileage vehicles compounding demand, WU52 YLC will not be on the forecourt for long.
