How to sell your van (Article)
Avoid technical phrases or terms that buyers will not understand. And always list additional equipment that you van has, like roof bars, racking, tow bar and/or additional security. If you know your van's payload, include it, along with the braked towing limit. These will be listed in the vehicle manual and/or on a plate on the van. Be sure to mention the van's dealer service history (if it has one) and disclose how long is left on the MoT. Always disclose any damage in the advert so you give the buyer a clear idea of exactly what they’re getting. If the van has had a full service, new tyres or recent work (air condition regassing, for example) then mention it in the advert, along with any other recent mechanical work. Decide how you want to be contacted and which times suit you best.
