Are there any cars or vans left on the second hand market that are straight? Just mooching around for a second hand van, nothing special 4 or 5 grands worth but every single one of them has some sort of issue or other.

Its either a massive advert bigging the van up but the very last two words of the advert are turbo problems, or its advertised as having about 80K on the clock but a simple MOT check reveals it to be about 250K. Or some other equally stupid problem with it. I actually gave up looking for one.

Just had another quick look and its the same story, advertised with 120K on the clock

Mileage record reads

2013 99K
2014 93K
2015 182K
2016 188K

Every seller is a shyster.

Secondhand vans are more difficult to buy than cars - they are mostly bought by businesses who run them until not economic to keep, either high mileage or a major repair.
I have always bought secondhand cars, but my last two vans have been new because of the problem finding anything decent.
