What's the best van for £1500?
A friend is setting up a small business: gardening, handyman and decorating. He has about £1500 to buy a small van and will appreciate your advice on the best options taking into account road tax and insurance costs.

He won't get a lot for £1500. Most vans in this price bracket are worn out and have sky high mileages to match. A Ford Transit Connect will be the best option, due to it being cheap to run and fix: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/van-reviews/ford/transit-con...2
