great vans but if you drive like a old lady night mare with dpf blocking up apart from that with 13k on the clock it should be new !

10K for a 7 year old Expert. They are having a laugh. I would be highly suspicious of the mileage. If genuine it will probably not have done the van any good being used so little or it has done a lot of short journeys.

My Expert is 16 years old now and hasn't missed a beat....biggest spend was new clutch 4 years ago......rest has been normal wear and tear costs.

I just don’t see the money in certain vans they are all much for much in the back end tbh,depends how many miles you do so many vans not comfortable to drive on a daily basis.
I’d put the 10 down and get something slightly bigger with more comforts,I’d never get another van without Air-con etc I don’t lease a van I buy one and keep it longer so it ends up owing me nothing.

Had a 1.6 dispatch for over 5 years, was a great van and didn't owe me a penny. I traded it in for a newer, with less miles 1.6 Scudo (same van) and lost £1750 on what I paid for it. Yes, that's £1750 for over 5 years trouble free service!👍 Does everything I want, has 3 seats, cheap to run, cheap and freely available service/maintenance parts etc.
Don't be fooled into the theory of paying more to lose less, that's only for losers!!👍💪💪

However, the one you quote is well overpriced.

An easy sanity check is to see what 'we buy any van' would give you for it!!!  Obviously it will be a low price but if they say something like £5k then you know the sale price of £10k is a bit ambitious. OK so the dealer is entitled to make a profit same as we buy any van but it gives you a clue.

I have Transit custom and have been pleased with it, I bought it Feb 19 had similar miles and I paid a little less than that, guess it depends on condition service history etc as well, mine had a small scratch or two.

Hence all people are promoted to the level of their incompetence

I've been looking to step up to a transit custom/vivaro size van for a month now and found it sparse pickings. A mate has been looking also, and had the same experiences - apparently every man and his dog is after that sized van for delivery work, thanks to covid. All's that left is over-priced crud. Stuff you wouldn't touch for 10k is now going for 12 etc etc.
And I'm tired of emailing and phoning dealers for more info on the vans they have only to find out "It's gone, but I do have this in..." or no further photos other than the 3 or 4 on their site, or "I'll take some and forward them".... followed by no photos.
Or "sorry, I've been mailing someone else for a while and they're viewing it after you - can you wait until they've seen it?"
Pfft. Used van salesmen  ::)roll
The good thing about science is that it's true whether you believe it or not.

I think vans have gone up by about 25-30% over the last 6 months.
I have seen some 2 year old vans advertised for more than you can buy new (if you shop around)! It's nuts but if you can hold out till things go back to normal I bet there will be a glut of vans kicking about. Plus early next year the London congestion zone will have very high charges for vans that don't comply with Euro6 so vans sold before September 2016 might be cheap?

Just read that Yodel are taking on 2500 self employed delivery drivers. So if that hasn't already pushed van prices up it won't help bring them down. OK so Yodel drivers don't all use vans a lot of them will.
