Selling a van

The value of your van is dependent on a significant number of factors. One of the main things that affects the value is the number of miles on the clock. The lower the mileage, the more desirable it will be and the more it will be worth.

Age is another key factor because vans depreciate (lose value) in the same way that cars do. On average, a new van will lose between 30% and 40% of its value by the end of its third year.

Other factors include the general condition (interior and exterior), paperwork and records, the number of previous owners and the make and model of the van.
