Spec

Pin down the spec

Check the V5C and the van itself for the exact model, wheelbase (SWB, MWB, LWB) and roof height.

History

Dig out the history

Look for big jobs like clutch, timing belt or dual-mass flywheel, which add confidence.

Faults

Write down what is wrong

An honest list means an honest price, with no surprises on collection day.

Kit

Choose what stays

Leave useful kit in; remove tools and personal items.

Photos

Get decent pictures

Good photos help us make an accurate offer first time.

Paperwork

Have the papers ready

Have the V5C and all keys ready, and tell us about any finance.

Your checklist

  • The V5C registration document in your name
  • Photo ID: passport or driving licence
  • All keys
  • Service history
  • Racking or roof bar keys
  • Details of any outstanding finance

This page is general guidance about selling a van. It isn't a price guide: every vehicle is valued individually, free and without obligation.
