Not as solid as a transit - but I would say up to the standard of a French van

Got some nice features and reasonably quiet - as yet no issues either bodywork or engine ( if memory serves its a Merc diesel )

I would have got a second but I needed something a bit longer this time so opted for an L3 Boxer 21 plate

Have noticed more and more of them on the road - which is good - it means there will be spare parts  ;D

If you don't upgrade your van, are you not liable to have pay lots more tax and still be left with potential banger.  You dont need to buy a new one,  just get rid of some proft??

Never by something you don't need for tax purposes. Never replace a vehicle if it is sound and reliable for tax purposes.

When you NEED a new vehicle and buy it you can offset it against tax.

Of course you might choose an unusually high profit year (if you have one) to make the purchase.

ok will take that on board.  I am in that situation where I have a 10 year old van that was bought for 2500 to replace a vivario that blow up at 70k.  2012 model and all the trouble they bought with injectors.  good profit year.  It as lasted really well. Will need to replace the van maybe next year, so it would be a year early, but if i dont do it this year profit will just go to tax and I will still need to buy a van soooonish  but with less proft.  profit from next year would then go on investing in further necessary eqiupment.  Hot box, replace poles etc.
