After the Scania's i would imagine the Versa's would be the next to go in a spare role (god help us).
Whatever is allocated to the 67/69 services is usually the lowest priority of vehicle. The 09 plate versas aren't even Euro 5. Wouldn't be surprised if they just canned the 09 plate versas and kept those mercs as spares. Probably could draw a reliability based conclusion too, or I hope. I have bad dreams about those groaning, badly presented things. Saying that, I probably groan more than those things do..
