Default Ex RAC Transits, any reason not to buy?

Thinking of getting myself a van as not had one for a while since I got rid of my astra van and it is something I could do with really for lugging engines about etc.

So was thinking about going a bit bigger this time and getting a RWD transit so its a decent tow vehicle as well as being useful for carrrying stuff.

Noticed there are a lot of EX RAC vans knocking about on a 57-58 plate sort of age, normally for about 3-4K + VAT

Typically the 3K+VAT ones are about 150K miles, and the 4K+VAT ones nearer to 100K miles.

I'll probably do about 50K miles in it over a couple of years period while I own it so seems worth paying the extra 1K to get a lower miles?

The RAC all seem to have aircon which seems pretty important after the recent heat wave, and they seem to always be in pretty decent condition.

Plus being orange isnt a bad secondbest to my preference of yellow, lol.



Any downside to the RAC ones that I should be aware of though?
