cathrobinson 8 Aug 8:40am, 8 Aug 2024 12,784 posts	0 cathrobinson 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.
RunningRonnie 8 Aug 8:40am, 8 Aug 2024 3,247 posts	0 RunningRonnie 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.

Rosehip 8 Aug 9:10am, 8 Aug 2024 32,814 posts	0 Rosehip 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?
Gromit 8 Aug 9:24am, 8 Aug 2024 1,991 posts	0 Gromit 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.
cathrobinson 8 Aug 9:28am, 8 Aug 2024 12,785 posts	0 cathrobinson 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.
