How do I price a high-mileage Vivaro?
On history and condition. Belt, clutch and DPF evidence is worth more than a lower odometer reading.
What do trade buyers check first?
Sliding door operation and sill corrosion, because both are expensive to put right.
Is ply lining a red flag?
Not by itself, but lift it. It routinely hides floor damage and water ingress.
