How we value a specialist body van

With specialist vans, the body matters as much as the chassis. Here is what we check.

  • Bodies valued
  • Certificates considered
  • Free collection

Our figure, before you list it

Quicker than writing an advert. Free, and no strings.

Good. Now the details a buyer would ask, so we can price the body and base.

Chassis

The base van

The chassis cab matters: tell us the make, engine, gearbox and mileage.

Tipper

Tipper bodies

Tell us if the tipper works, the condition of the body and any cage or toolbox.

Luton

Lutons and lifts

Tail lifts need regular LOLER inspections. Send the latest certificate if you have it.

Fridge

Fridge vans

Tell us the fridge unit, whether it runs on standby, and the insulation condition.

Minibus

Minibuses

Tell us the number of seats, any wheelchair access and the paperwork.

Paperwork

Documents

Body certificates and service records help us value accurately.

Your checklist

  • The V5C registration document
  • Photo ID or company details
  • All keys, including body and tail-lift keys
  • LOLER, ATP or other certificates
  • Service history
  • If there is finance: the settlement figure

This page is general guidance about selling a van. It isn't a price guide: every vehicle is valued individually, free and without obligation.

Specialist van FAQs

My LOLER has lapsed. Is that a problem?

No, tell us.

Do you buy vans with racking or shelving in the box?

Yes.

Do you need the service history?

It helps but isn't essential.

Can you collect a van that won't start?

Yes, free.

Will you give me a price over the phone?

We'll give you a firm offer once we have the details and photos.
