This type of van is normally reliable. However its like everything else that we buy second these days, like the milage, service history. Or if drives like a nail then walk away.

i have the exact same van for the last 7 years its been a good work horse but looking tired now, only problem ive had with it is replacing the starter motor 3 times but aparently that is a common thing with them especialy in window cleaning when your stopping and starting 15-20 times a day every day.

I think any van at 65 mph with 350 kg on board and tool, and drives weight and made to carry 650 Kg will sway a little.

Excellent van,
got a 400 ltr upright in it, good work horse, poles fit inside lovely as they go into the blister over the
cab.
mine had 102 on the clock - now has 118k flew thro the MOT. as already posted it has eaten a starter
motor.
