Is radiator leakage more common in commercial-use Changan Karvaans due to rough usage and overloading?

Commercial vans run longer routes, often overloaded and with less maintenance. Are radiator issues more common in such vans compared to personal-use vehicles?

Yes, commercial-use Karvaans are:

Driven longer

Frequently overloaded

Often poorly maintained

These factors cause:

Faster vibration-related damage

Increased heat stress

More rapid wear on hoses and clamps

Private-use Karvaans generally show fewer radiator problems if maintained properly.
