Hello Jared. As John says, the timing / cam belt service is the most important with this van. Every 40k miles. If you don't know / is no service history, get it done. About £140. Just did mine. It's a few hundred quid damage if you have an old one that snaps.

Also, it's your first vehicle. Get ahead of the game; change the oil every 5k miles and it probably will do another 200k like you say. Oil and filter change is even more important with diesel than petrol engines as they run hotter so blacken the oil quicker.
