Before buying and used camper van, prepare a budget. Please check whether there are repairs and also note the alteration to be effected. If you have doubts about the car's condition, please don't buy. Get confirmed about the car's condition from a professional mechanic. Vehicle must have all legal documents. If you don't find them, please speak to the seller. Get help from a witness. Check the chassis number and engine number. Check the history of the vehicle. You can test drive the car and ascertain its performance. If you want to buy the vehicle from a dealer, the price will be prohibitively high. But, the dealer will inform you about the problems in the car. The dealer will include the latest MOT or roadway certificate. Some dealers will agree for a three months warranty certificate. You have to check the engines, body work, chassis, brakes... Check for irritating sounds when the engine is running. Check oil leaks, cam belt, radiator, blow head gasket, steam and smoke.

Inspect underneath the car, wheel arches, and front and rear box sections. There should not be oil leakage from the gear box. Inspect if the CV joints are intact.
