    So the van had done 100,000 + whatever was on it when you sold it (which you haven't told us) and its only 4 years old?

    My colleagues van has done 190000 and isnt 4 years old yet, so not sure what your point is.

    If the mileage was warranted isnt it down to the auction house

    Parcel delivery vans can easily rack-up 30k+ miles a year. Even vans used by product reps. and those employed to service/refill vending machines can eat-up the mileage.

    My hubby is doing about 6000 miles a month, sometimes more. This week he did 1700 miles in 4 days, so easily done for small van drivers. Cornwall to London on Monday, back on Tuesday, then cornwall to Edinburgh Thursday back on Friday.
    His work transit was brand new 1st March 2014, now has 75000 miles already. He's a mechanic by trade but got fed up with that and is working for a next day delivery courier company.
