Condition

While the description states that the electrics are 'excellent' and the engine, gearbox, and interior are 'good,' it also mentions that the van has been used for business and has had several new parts fitted, suggesting it has seen considerable use and may require ongoing maintenance. The comprehensive service history and recent upgrades contribute positively, but the age and original purpose as a bread van indicate potential wear and tear.
