What van for a younger driver?
We want a reliable small van for our 17 year old who will travel around GB for outdoor sports. He may sleep in back occasionally so should accommodate a mattress. It should be lowest insurance possible, carry driver and 2 passengers and be cheap to upkeep. Quote to insure on a Berlingo was £9 - 10K which is impossible. Rather spend more initially and then save on insurance.

Better not a van at all. Better a Berlingo Multispace or Peugeot Partner or Renault Kangoo or FIAT Doblo with windows. Cheaper to insure with better resale. Anyway, there's no such thing as a 3 seater small van, unless you mean the rare option on a Berlingo of three across (very uncomfortable) seating.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
