Our Verdict

Proceed with extreme caution due to the vehicle's age and high mileage. While it has passed recent MOTs, the recurring advisory items and structural concerns suggest this Transporter has lived a hard life.

When inspecting this vehicle, your primary focus should be the service history. A van of this age and mileage requires meticulous maintenance, particularly regarding the timing belt and oil changes. If there is no documented proof of these major services, you must factor in the cost of immediate preventative maintenance before putting it on the road.

Negotiate hard on the price, keeping in mind the potential for hidden corrosion beneath the white paintwork. Given the history of distorted wheels and tyre issues, check the suspension components and wheel bearings, as these will have been under significant stress. Ensure you take it for a test drive long enough to get the engine up to temperature to check for cooling system leaks or turbo lag.
