My van has done 80,000 miles. Should I keep it or trade it in?

I have a 2014 Ford Transit Connect LWB van. It does mostly motorway miles, and has covered a total of 83000. How many more miles should I get?

The Ford Transit Connect is a very durable van. As long as it's serviced and maintained properly, with an oil change every 12,000 miles or 12 months (whichever comes first), it should be good for at least another 83,000 miles.
