Our Verdict
Avoid this vehicle unless looking for a dedicated project with significant mechanical skills. It suffers from severe structural corrosion and recurring safety failures that make it a risky investment for the average buyer.
The primary focus must be a thorough structural inspection by a qualified metal fabricator. The MOT history shows multiple instances of corrosion in the inner integral structures, rear sills, and towbar mounting areas. One failure noted foam being used to fill structural gaps, indicating poor quality past repairs. This is a major red flag.
Check the entire braking system meticulously, as the vehicle has a history of failed brake efficiency, seized master cylinders, and inoperative parking brakes. Ensure the service history shows regular oil changes, as a persistent oil leak has been noted in recent tests. Negotiate aggressively based on the high cost of structural repairs required to keep the van roadworthy long-term.
