Hard call-do you specifically want no rear seats and twin side doors?

Looks fine to me, says it has been well serviced.
Mileage can mean very little, a well serviced car will be better at 500,000km than one that hasn't been serviced done 100,000km.
Get it checked out by a VW specialist and see how they rate it.

K you are looking at better than an l300 Mileage is a concern if? it has a dual mass flywheel and at 300 is on either it's second clutch- or possibly close to an expensive one. twin doors is a major bonus on a van if doing deliverys etc. Note- have done MANY appraisals on vehicles- would rather do a hundred appraisals . and get a good one

possible no dmf on a petrol i would have to look in etka what it likely has if it is of interest. also you just got to plan on having a new engine put in one day if it is worn out

its not to use for work , just local getting around . 100 /150 k a week
she is used to the mitsi l 300 and just feels better sitting higher, as opposed to ( sitting on the road ) in a car, as she puts it. + she does arty stuff and takes around art canvases now and then . they are bulky 4 ft. x 4 ft,

Why is it 50 shades of grey. or in this case white? Seat covers? really? They protect the seat lol. Ive always had seat covers on cars, saves getting the most used seat worn or dirty lol. However I guess some use them to cover a hideous mess.

Take her for a few test drives in SUV's, much bigger selection in your price range with a similar height off the ground for seating. More bang for your buck than a commercial van and lots more to choose in the higher safety range.

thisles-for that money you know what I suggest. You will get one with less than 1/3 the miles and 2-3 years newer

I think that you should forget about buying a van since an SUV or a Station Wagon will do the job that you require and be much cheaper and most importantly very much safer. Keep out of vans, most of them are death traps.

No, they didn't test commercial vehicles that long ago
That's based off the same kinda questionable system ACC uses to classify cars for licensing purposes. I guess its fine to compare to other rating using the same system, but don't mistake it for being equivalent to ANCAP
