To get the best price, combine good preparation with realistic pricing. Make sure the van is clean, tidy and mechanically sound, gather all documents, and be clear about how it’s been used (trade, courier, personal). A well-presented van with a solid history can justify a stronger asking price.
Our how to prepare your van for sale guide includes a checklist of quick wins that help maximise value.

When selling a van that’s been used for business, buyers will often want to know how it was used (e.g. building, delivery, courier work), typical loads carried and whether the van has been sign-written or modified. You may also need extra documents for your own records, such as invoices or proof of sale for your accounts.
