I’m going to look at a van tomorrow for my old chap. It is a escort van 1800D on a P done 101K, has no s/h as it cam from a firm

And “apparently” has had a recent cambelt but before the guy bought it and he doesn’t have the invoice for it

Apparently filthy, has a dent in the wing and bonnet, but has a brand new bonnet to go with it (needs painting etc) it has new tax but he “thinks” it has test till jan. He wants 1k for it. Out of all the others for the year etc it is the cheapest we can find, it is only for my dads work so dents and light scratches etc aint a prob, reliability etc is. I know really what I am looking for but don’t really look at vans, what are the main areas I need to check at? It sounds a bit iffy as I asked for the reg and he don’t know it

As we want to hpi it before hand…. We are probs gonna say to get a new mot on it and we will pay the asking price….What do you guy’s think?
