What happens before a used van is sold?

At Van Finance Company, preparation is part of the purchase process. The current sales process states that used vans are serviced, receive a new MOT and undergo a multi-point inspection before handover.

Service, MOT and inspection

The service and new MOT provide a fresh point-in-time check before collection or delivery, while the multi-point inspection gives the preparation team a structured way to review the vehicle. A used van can still show normal signs of previous commercial use, so buyers should assess the actual vehicle rather than assuming every example of the same model will be identical.

Check the exact van and specification

Preparation does not replace choosing the right derivative for the job. Check the registration, mileage, body style, seats, load-space arrangement, transmission, fuel or powertrain type and the equipment that matters to your business. If payload or dimensions are important, verify the figures for that exact vehicle rather than relying on a model-wide figure.

Warranty and breakdown support

Current Van Finance Company stock information states that used vans include an in-house warranty for 3 months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first, together with 12 months of AA breakdown cover. Buyers should read the applicable terms for their purchase and ask about any additional cover they may want.

Before collection or delivery

At handover, check that the registration and vehicle details match your paperwork, review the visible condition and make sure you have the keys and documents supplied with the van. You can view current used vans before discussing a specific vehicle with the team.
