MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwire) — 02/26/12 — Swinton, the UK-s leading broker, is warning van drivers to be aware of the risks associated with purchasing a used van.
Recent figures show that the wholesale value for used vans increased by 1.1% at the start of the year, while the overall average age of such vehicles also increased from 59 to 61 months.
With the value of used vans on the rise, sales of them are expected to surge over the course of the next few months.
However, while the process of purchasing a used van may seem straightforward, inexperienced buyers can sometimes fall victim to seller scams.
With this in mind, Swinton is urging motorists to remember the following points when buying a used van:
Phil Moss, Commercial Vehicle Manager at Swinton said: “When it comes to buying a used van, it is important that buyers take the necessary steps to protect themselves. Being prepared for potential issues that could arise after the sale will give the buyer peace of mind – and prevent costly claims at a later stage.”
