    If its anything like the movano they are prone to gearbox failing and injectors

    Right ok trying to see pro and cons,

    Either this or transit jumbo 2.2 125
    62 plate £9,000 +vat but its done 115 miles,

    Great for length but not shore on mileage,

    And condition is not as good as this van or service history,

    Hard to get jumbos down my way hehe

    Enough to fit 20 hotel rooms or a whole house full of carpet and underlay :)

    Good van for carpets, I've taken out the bulk head so can shut the door if just one or two cuts. Just big enough where as the sprinter or jumbo a little too big in think.

    I got it for £8800 with 16k on it and its been a cracking van I preferred it 10 fold to the brand new transporter I had before

    I have had one for 10 years 04 model ,it's been a brilliant van ,had clutch slave cylinder go changed on warranty a wheel bearing about 3 years ago and a an alternator and that's it in 10years other than tyres , brake pads which all vehicles use up .
    No rust anywhere and I don't particularly take care of it
    The gearbox crunches sometimes going into first gear but it's been like it over 3 years and not got any worse .
    Also had engine chipped in its early life it makes a lot more power and see 38 mpg around town and 45+ long distances on the computer

    mine is high roof version so there is enough room to get 4m in by placing it in the void above the cab but means I always have to have cardboard poles in them to avoid creasing rear load length is 3.7m , but I have left the bulkhead in place which is much warmer in winter

    On my experience I would highly reccomend one but I am going to change it in a couple of months and am looking at getting the facelift long wheel citroen ,fiat/ Peugeot which has just been released .. Hopefully it will last 10 years and see me out untill retirement :)
