My advice is don't buy a van because it's cheap!!! Cheap is were things can start to go wrong.
P.S
Try and stretch to the 135 T350 if you can. They have no injector pumps (which fail at a cost of about £600 to repair excluding labour and VAT) so you do away with most fueling issues.
P.S
oh and dont buy anything other than a 125 350 transit,

313 will be ok. Not as fast as the 135 Transit but a good van. Just be gentle with the doors as they like to drop off. Also as that is the CDi model, watch out for the top of the engine (where the injectors are) filling up with a hard black substance!

i would stay clear of any other engine than the 90ps they go on forever we have had endless 90's no problems whatsoever 
125's are always having cylinder heads and new engines at our dealers and most others we visit 
and as for the 135/7 ps they have a few issues still injecter calibration and a fierce clutch to name but a few shame as the 137ps really does eat most vans

Mine does have a "heavy duty" feel to the clutch! Behaves like a paddle clutch in comparison. Not an issue for me as I spend most of my milage on the motorway between jobs.
