There's no reason to shun older or higher mileage Nissan NV200 vans. If anything, they will be in better mechanical condition than those that have been used for repeated short runs from cold.

Aim to buy the van that's in the best condition and has a comprehensive service history. Ideally, it should have a folder full of receipts that trace its history back to the original dealer. Check the quality of the gearshift, the five-speed gearbox is - like the engine - car derived, so if it’s been abused or frequently hauled at maximum capacity it might fail.
