Test drive the van
- If possible, test drive the van when the engine is cold. This will help you to see whether it has any difficulties starting up.
- Check all the seatbelts and door locks work properly.
- Check whether any warning lights come up on the dashboard.
- Check the gearbox for signs of wear and tear.
- Check the brakes by performing an emergency stop.
Purchasing the van
Do not be afraid to negotiate the price. Remember 20% of vans change hands each year, if you do not want to purchase the van then there are plenty of others out there. But, once you have bought your vehicle make sure it is legally covered with a Van Insurance policy and that you have peace of mind by having the right breakdown cover.
