The seller says "it has only done just over 30000 miles. it's never had wings arches sills or any welding on this vehicle because it has been dry stored all it's life."

but MOT history makes interesting reading for an immaculate unwelded 30,000 mile van.

Along with lots of advisories for corrosion it failed this year at 51500 miles on among other stuff

offside rear Suspension spring mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded near spring mount (2.4.A.3)
nearside front Suspension spring mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded near spring mount (2.4.A.3)

and in 2010 on

Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion which adversely affects braking or steering (6.1.A.1)

We'd probably believe the seller and then be really pissed off when we'd bid according to the description and driven 200 miles to collect a van that we then find is a welded up twice colour changed tarted up everyday pick up truck.
