After a van - fairly new - prepared to do 20k plus miles

Budget around £11k

Transit size - is a transit the best option?

In a word yes but they hold they're money well so looking at other options may prove a better option, is your budget including VAT?

My brother paid 13k in March for a 3 year old Peugeot Boxer long wheel base, 26k, nice spec (AC, CC, satnav etc), ex lease, FSH, but had to fly up to Aberdeen to get it (from a main dealer). Is a nice van to drive. He's converted it in to a camper.

Thanks for these, some really good suggestions I hadn’t really considered.

Low mileage is important as I’ll be putting plenty of miles on each year

Fiat Ducato

Great vans we have 6 or 7 (think the small one is a Fiat othername, not sure) and never had any major problems at all.

Looking for one myself, but pretty much decided on a transit custom 19 plate onwards in limited spec as if your going to spend most of your time might aswell have a decent spec

min is like 16-17k + vat for those right now
