    Karl, great vid! I'd add a few more issues to think about. It's not common but it has happened, always visit the van at the address it's registered too, ask for DL, V5 and check engine chassis match. Also if they ask for cash on collection, this is an alarm bell. Imagine carrying 10k with you to be met by a believed seller, who robs you, that has happened. I'm ex police and vaguely recall a nasty robbery some years back. If its Genuine then a bank transfer is the safest option. Try to avoid carrying cash. Also whilst I'm on it. If you asked if finance is outstanding, they cannot legal own the vehicle. Walk, or if its easily remedied, ask for the finance company and arrange to pay them the settlement. If this is not possible and you buy it, good luck in trying to avoid the liability at some later stage. If they don't pay it off. Hope this helps.

    So true. I felt I really scored with mine. 2021 Custom Limited. Perfect condition, 8,000miles and best of all No VAT! Couldn’t have chosen better and I was looking at another van at the time when it popped up on my EBay feed!

    This was really professionally done, I liked how the videography went ❤️ and the information given was great! I’ll be happy to go check out some vehicles myself before I contact a mechanic (still would not trust myself entirely before buying 😂) the tips were a huge thing -confidence building for someone who has no knowledge about cars 😅

    A bit of milky oil on the filler cap can just be a result of too many short trips and a cold climate, not always the dreaded failed gasket.

    Hey mate, love the video and thanks for the tips! Just one question, what’s your thoughts about mileage when buying a van? I’m looking at swb transporters and transits at the minute and a lotta stuff around the £8-10k mark has done 150k plus miles. Which for me coming from the world of bikes and cars seems like an awful lot! I was trying to find something under 100k but that doesn’t seem doable. What’d you think?

    Great vid man thanks! One question: These dealers that offer nationwide delivery, how does that work then? When do I pay, and how do I manage to see it before paying? The reason i'd opt for nationwide delivery is that it opens me up to a larger selection, and I don't have transport.

    dislike ... not interested in how to search for a good van .... but a van for conversion... so no modes comparation and advantage and disadvantage between them
