Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Should have said, £38,000 they want for it.

Bonny van though.

I have the 700 version of that van, @RunningRonnie in a 2014. We’ve had it 5 years and it’s been a great van. I wouldn’t necessarily be put off by age - more mileage, owner history and service information. Like I wouldn’t want to buy an ex-hire van personally.

I wonder if the short van is a positive or negative.

Positive: easier to drive/park.
Negative: Could have had more space.

If the extra space is just taken up with a fixed bed, then this is fine I guess.

We've been told one owner who sold it because she just didn't use it much. 10,000 miles.

We're moving from a 2020 van, so going older just feels wrong.

Rumour is that pre 2020 vans were built better

What's it's ULEZ status and does that matter to you? 6M vans are cheaper on ferries etc than over 6M - though the height of that might have an impact - is that an issue?

That is the exact set up we will look at when we can get our arses in gear to rearrange our drive / garage at home, internal "garage" for bikes , and all the positives you listed - for that price and mileage it sounds ace !

Forgot to think about ULEZ!! Thanks.

We do go on ferries occasionally.

What about habitation checks? Rollerteam do a 10 year water ingress warranty which is worth having - but it’s only upheld if the habitation checks have been done on time each year.
