Been and had a look today. The van drives good, no play in the wheels, no smoke, no ceamy residue on the oil cap or dipstick. Clutch works quite high up, doesn't need to be pressed to the floor. Engine sounds good, all looked good.

Checked the mot online -
30/06/08 177500 miles,
27/06/09 235000 miles
28/06/10 273000 miles

Today clock was reading 99400 miles. He must have being doing alot of reversing. :D

Don't know and the guy didn't know either.



If he's owned it for any more than eleven months than there's only one person could have clocked it and it's him.  He's presumably relying on finding a buyer who doesn't check it out properly.

There are hundreds of good vans out there and this isn't one of them.  Find a buyer who is telling the truth and selling a van with a less intergalactic mileage.

Putting in all the dates you've quoted:

02/04/06 50,000 miles
30/06/08 177,500 miles,
27/06/09 235,000 miles
08/09/09 24,839 miles
28/06/10 273,000 miles

Really, walk away.
