What are nearly-new vans?
Nearly-new vans offer a smart middle ground between brand-new and used. They're typically under 12 months old, with low mileage, and often have just 100 miles on them or less.
There are a few types of nearly-new vans to know about:
- Pre-registered vans: These are registered by the dealership but haven’t been driven much beyond delivery mileage. Since they’ve technically had a previous owner (the dealership), they’re sold as used, even though they’re practically new.
- Ex-demonstrator vans: Used by the dealership for test drives or display purposes. They usually have a few thousand miles on the clock and are well-maintained, often by the dealer’s technicians.
- Low-mileage used vans: Less than a year old with very low mileage, often under 5,000 miles. They offer many of the same perks as pre-reg or ex-demo vans, such as modern features, manufacturer warranties, and strong value for money.
Benefits of buying a nearly-new van
Buying a nearly-new van gives you many of the perks of a brand-new vehicle but without the full price tag, such as:

- Low mileage with minimal wear, offering excellent value and long working life
- Most come with the remaining manufacturer's warranty for added peace of mind
- In stock and ready to drive away, perfect if you need a van quickly
- Often on the latest number plates and packed with up-to-date technology and safety features
- Flexible finance options are available to suit different budgets and business needs
