Buyer's Guide | 28/02/2025 16:30, by Ed Hillier
If you’re in the market for a used van, chances are you’ve got a few questions. Buying a van isn’t just about getting from A to B—it’s an investment in your business, your livelihood, and your future.
At Hampshire Vans, we’ve been helping people find their perfect van for years, and we hear the same questions time and time again. So, instead of keeping the answers to ourselves, we’re laying them all out here for you.
1. How much should I expect to pay for a used van?
Van prices vary based on mileage, condition, make, and model. We always keep our pricing transparent, so you know exactly what you’re paying for—no hidden fees, no last-minute surprises. Want to know the best value options? Just ask.
2. How do I know if a van is in good condition?
Every van we sell is HPI-checked, fully inspected, and comes with at least six months’ MOT. If a van doesn’t meet our high standards, we don’t sell it. Simple as that.
3. What if something goes wrong after I buy it?
We get it—buying any vehicle can feel like a risk. That’s why every van comes with a 3-month warranty, with the option to extend to 6 or 12 months. That way, you’re covered no matter what.
4. What’s the best van for my business?
It depends on your needs. Are you carrying heavy loads? Need better fuel efficiency? More storage? Tell us what you need, and we’ll match you with the best van for the job.
5. What if you don’t have the van I’m looking for?
Good news—we can source vans for you. If you’ve got something specific in mind, let us know, and we’ll do the hard work for you.
The Bottom Line
Buying a van shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. When you have the right information, you can make the best decision for your business.
