    I work for RM and am in trucks that have done 1.5+ million kilometres every day so 1 million is pretty much standard for anything above a 3ton vehicle. Any defects they are all put straight into the garage to be fixed by the fleet mechanics.As soon as the tread is down to 2mm they are replaced. It’s just the small delivery vans that are beaten up as they used and abused by posties whereas the higher class vehicles are only driven by 2 or 3 guys for their duration as everyone is assigned the same vehicle for their duty so we look after them

    Looks like a good van, and a decent size. I am of the same mind, the older stuff will last longer between problems. There is a lot of difference between the new vans, regarding problems with def systems etc. The tech is new, the service isn't clear yet so people get caught out a lot. My son runs a small fleet for his buisness and being 3 or 4 year old vans they're a constant source of stress and downtime can be ages, because the dealership and the garages have long waiting lists.

      @basevan 4 дня назад

      Thank you for your feedback. I understand that £15,000 may seem high for a 2004 VW LT, but several factors justify this valuation... ;) Low Mileage and Longevity: With only 42,000 miles, this van is well below the average mileage for its age. VW LTs are known for their durability, often reaching up to 400,000 miles with proper maintenance. Rarity and Desirability: Well-maintained VW LTs are becoming increasingly rare, making them highly sought after, especially for camper conversions. Cost-Effective Maintenance: Older vans like this one often have lower maintenance costs. Parts are readily available and typically less expensive due to lower demand. Additionally, these vehicles don't require specialized computer diagnostics for minor repairs, unlike newer models. Comparison with Newer Models: A new Volkswagen Crafter LWB starts from £45,660 plus VAT. HONEST JOHN Investing in this 2004 VW LT at £15,000 offers significant savings. Considering its potential to cover an additional 358,000 miles, the cost per mile is approximately £0.0375, compared to £0.1125 per mile for a new van. This makes the LT a cost-effective choice for long-term use. Environmental Considerations: Opting for a well-preserved older vehicle can be more environmentally friendly than purchasing a new one, as it reduces the demand for new manufacturing and the associated environmental impact. Given these points, this van is not only worth the asking price but could also appreciate in value over the next five years if maintained properly. Would you be interested in a detailed video explaining why this van is a valuable investment and how it could potentially double in worth? Rup.
