Looks ok to me and worth a viewing.
The mileage on the vehicle is not unreasonable, it says it has a full service history which is always a good thing and it's on for a good price.
Next thing to do would be to go and test drive it and check over bodywork etc. for signs of damage/wear and tear.
If any doubts walk away.   

[SeanK]

Couldn't say if its a good price or not,as for the van I have the same model and
cant fault it in any way.

I looked at a used 2010 Citroen Dispatch 1.6 hdi in grey metallic paint at a local main dealer last year.
It was what they called an "Approved used vehicle" with a 1 year warranty, history check and mot.
The vehicle had around 30,000 miles on the clock with full history but bodywork had a few scratches, so wasn't mint.
They wanted £8,000 + vat which I thought was more than what it was worth to be honest.

I have exact same van, reliable if not a little sluggish!

[H20cleaning]

First of all do they need cam belts? If so around the 60-70k is when it will need doing so double check because that wont be cheap!

I think cam belt change is required at 100,000 miles or 10 years (whichever is sooner) on that engine.

1.6HDI engines are known for serious turbo issues.

Which is why I thought about the 2.0 maybe!

This is selling at same place but I wasn't sure about the amount of mileage its done!

Personally I would not touch the 1.6 - hear of too many problems. 2.0 much better option IMO.

[Scrimble]

you can get them vans for 10k plus vat brand new which  would be a better buy, full manufacturers warrenty, no mot's for 3 years,

or get the 2.0 with 165bhp! remap it up to 200bhp

I've got the 2.0 model, so cannot comment on the 1.6 engine, everything else is great especially twin side doors and payload.

I've heard the 1.6 needs to be serviced very well - especially oil/filter changes. A bit small for a 1200kg payload?

But then my Doblo 1.3 is "a bit small" for a 750kg payload but I've had a 400 in it plus a trailer with a further 200 as well.

That same engine (the 90bhp version) is available in the current shape vauxhall combo with a 1000kg payload.

[Klean07]

The one in the link has done 125,000 miles but only one owner and fsh but not sure if mileage is too high!

the 105bhp 1.6 16v multijet engine in the doblo cargo is not the same engine as in the 1.6 90bhp fiat scudo/citreon dispatch/peugeot expert

I am also looking at buying a dispatch 2.0 HDI with 1200 payload,I wondered if anyone knows if they're wide enough to fit a 650l upright tank and frame against the bulkhead please?

I used to run Peugeot Expert with a 650 IBC between the arches.
