Our Verdict

Proceed with caution due to a history of tyre neglect and high mileage. While the most recent MOT was clean, the recurring tyre issues suggest this van may have been worked hard without consistent preventative maintenance.

When viewing this van, look closely at the service history folder. Given the MOT history shows multiple tyre failures and a deteriorated CV boot, you need to verify if the previous owner prioritised essential mechanical maintenance or just did the bare minimum to pass the test. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could suggest tracking issues that haven't been properly addressed.

Test drive the van on a variety of road surfaces to listen for knocking from the suspension, particularly around the CV joints. Since it is a commercial vehicle, inspect the rear cargo area for signs of heavy abuse, rust, or damage to the floor panels, as this can be a hidden cost for new owners.
