I see so they will generally come about when a new Plate comes out? They really should teach stuff like this in school, who really wants to learn about RE?

the transit 2.4 durotorq is chain cam but can get rattly around 120k. check engine in this frosty weather as it may take 5 or so cranks to get started as this engine relies on injection rather than glowplugs working. if it dont start on 2nd click then the egr has gone.
if you dont mind 6k on the clock from a jersey import then you will save 25% list on new and i dont think vat is applicable either.
go to bca auctions and check out next sale.

I had a 56 transit connect ex virgin media an broke down bout 4 times in 9 months it was ment to be well maintained, the last breakdown they wanted 2 grand to repair so I got rid of it an bought a new 1, sum1 told me the best tool u can have is ur van. I watched my old boss repair his crappy vans month after month. As I haven't been self employed long I didn't want to tie myself up to a contract, but I also didnt want to breakdown again. Looked into leasing but apparently they get u wen u hand the van back and it's got a couple of scratches on it they charge u a fortune so I just bought a new van instead.
Yes best tool is you van
Must be that you are looking at the wrong manufacture !!
van must be VW Transporter or a vito

Tbh you know it all good things comes in price , get one on finance an run it for 10 years and you are sorted
Don't be to put off by mileage mate, and I'm not trying to persuade you to buy mine! In fairness it's to far away to risk traveling to view any way. But just because a van has lower miles doesn't mean it's more reliable. Sometimes the opposite. A lot of Wear and tear items tend to go at around 70-90k so sometimes buying a higher mileage one means someone else has done it for you. Also I looked for ages before getting this one and saw a lot of dogs with less miles.
worth looking at some if they aren't very far away, won't hurt.
I chose a higher miler van so that it looked presentable outside a customers house without breaking the bank.
good luck with the search, I hated it!

Nostrum how much you looking fr your van ?
Not sure what its worth as I haven't looked at what they go for recently. There's a small dent in top of rear door I was going to get sorted first, been there since I bought it mind. Somewhere around 4k I would have thought? I've got to put it through a service as well, got all the stuff just waiting for a mate of mine to get the time to do it, also anti roll bar bushes are getting replaced at same time.
forgot to say its a 110 so goes well not a gutless 85
