Buying new vans these days is madness.
Here’s is something I’d be looking at.
£19,000 plus vat,
Less than 2 years old,
4,000 miles on the clock.
110 mile range (which is pretty accurate even when fully laden)

That’s too big for me, I need to be able to get the van in underground car parks for some jobs I do. That range is also pretty dire, imagine what it’s like in the winter!
You can get great deals on on similar equivalents, and smaller sizes you just have to search.
The range is more than enough for me. The max I drive in a day is 50 miles, and that’s only once per month.
Like I say, it won’t work for everyone, and that’s why prices are keeping on coming down. These don’t suit lots of tradesmen, but they do for some.
Get the timing right and I’ll get a nearly new vehicle, for a great price, with half the running costs.
