What to Check on a Used Van

  1. Verify mileage is consistent across MOT records — vans are clocked more often than cars
  2. Look for clutch and dual-mass flywheel wear (heavy on high-mileage diesels)
  3. Check DPF/EGR health, especially on vans used for short urban deliveries
  4. Inspect the load area, sliding doors and rear suspension for hard use
  5. Run a Vehicle History Check — confirm it isn't a write-off, stolen, or on finance
