How many miles is too many on a Custom?
Mileage matters less than history. A 130,000-mile van with belt and clutch records beats an unknown 70,000-mile one.
What is the biggest hidden cost?
A blocked DPF plus EGR on a van that has only done town work.
Do buyers care about ply lining?
Yes. It hides damage, so lift it and inspect the floor before you retail the van.
