i can do that mileage in a month

trust me, with our fleet covering 6-8 MILLION miles a year, they are utterly shite vans compared to the transits, and even the vito's we had back in 2004

people buy them because they are cheap and the service intervals are longer, and the new ones have smart servicing on them but all that happens if they come on is that the dealer turns the light off and doens't service them until it's done the required 25,000 miles between services, so no wonder they have issues

its loaded to the hilt though always over 2 ton due to tools.

they are very cheap that's why I bought mine, iirc it was £6k was 4 years old and done 32000 miles basically brand new, and had air con which I wouldn't of bought if it hadn't tbh.

my van may not of seen many miles compared to yours but I dare bet its been on much worse terrain its a fitters van that has to go on site regularly and always well laden.
