How to Choose a Used Van
Buying a used van is a significant investment, so it's important to make an informed decision. Here are some key factors to consider when choosing:
1. Mileage & Condition
Lower mileage vans tend to have a longer lifespan, but well-maintained high-mileage vans can still be a great value.
Check for signs of excessive wear on the clutch, brakes, and suspension, as these parts can be expensive to replace.
Look for rust, especially around wheel arches, door sills, and under the chassis, as corrosion can be costly to repair.
Inspect the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate misalignment or suspension problems.
2. Fuel Type & Economy
Diesel vans are popular due to their fuel efficiency and longevity, but they may face restrictions in some urban areas due to emissions regulations.
Petrol vans are generally cheaper upfront and better for shorter trips.
Electric vans offer the lowest running costs but require access to charging infrastructure.
3. Payload & Cargo Space
Consider how much weight and volume your business needs to carry.
Check van dimensions, as well as maximum payload capacities to avoid overloading.
Look for secure tie-down points and shelving options if you need to organize tools and equipment.
4. MOT & Service History
Always check for a full service history and a valid MOT certificate.
Avoid vans with patchy or missing service records, as this could indicate poor maintenance.
Ask for previous MOT reports to spot recurring issues such as emissions failures or brake problems.
Verify that the van has had regular oil changes and timing belt replacements where applicable.
5. Insurance & Running Costs
Insurance premiums vary based on van size, age, and intended use.
Factor in road tax, fuel consumption, and maintenance costs when budgeting.
Check if the van meets ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) requirements if you plan to drive in cities like London.
6. Signs of Previous Heavy Use & Potential Issues
Check the loading bay for excessive dents and scratches, as this could suggest the van has been heavily used.
Inspect the driver's seat and pedals – excessive wear can indicate high mileage even if the odometer suggests otherwise.
Test the electrics, including lights, indicators, windows, and central locking.
Listen for unusual engine noises and check for excessive smoke from the exhaust when starting the engine.
Take it for a test drive, paying attention to how smoothly it accelerates, brakes, and handles corners.
7. Avoiding Scams & Dodgy Sellers
Buy from a reputable dealer where possible, as they often provide warranties.
If buying privately, ensure the van is HPI-checked to verify its history and make sure it's not stolen, written off, or subject to outstanding finance.
Be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true – they often are!
Arrange to view and test the van in daylight and avoid rushed sales tactics.
By carefully inspecting a used van and checking its history, you can avoid costly mistakes and ensure you get a vehicle that suits your business needs for years to come.
