No, I got a perfectly good 79k mile, 8yr old Transit for £2,300 in a private sale.
None of the dealers I visited, and there were a lot, filled me with confidence. Mostly just uninterested in helping a customer at all, generally rude and ignorant. The one which seemed the best had a 5yr old Scudo I was interested in, had MOT’d it himself, certificate dated two days previously. Took it out for a spin and the rear brakes were binding something cronic, had to abort the test drive after a few minutes. Left me doubting the rigorouness of his test so I walked away. Had a lot of wasted journies to see a lot of vans.
