Inspector's conclusion
A van after major body repair: a welded chassis rail, a full respray with mismatched tones and impact marks on the underbody. Mechanically the list is long too — from the clutch to the fan coupling — and the seller is not the registered owner. Buying makes sense only at a price that reflects all the risks and the repairs ahead.
