What used van do you recommend for £8000?
I'm looking at buying a Toyota Proace, Peugeot Expert or Citroen Dispatch (around three years old). It’s for my business, but will also need to tow my caravan. Is the 2.0-litre Proace the better option due to its weight and five-year warranty? I have about £8000 to spend.

They are effectively all the same van, so prioritise condition and history over the badge. That means a fully documented service record and wallet of receipts to show any work that's been done. It's also important to note that the previous-generation Toyota Proace was only ever sold with a three-year warranty; the five-year cover was introduced with the 2016 van: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/van-reviews/toyota/proace-20.../
That said, a good 2.0-litre Proace/Expert/Dispatch will suit your business needs, but opt for the more powerful 160PS version if you're planning to tow on a regular basis. For all of our used van buying tips, see: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/how-to-buy-and-sell/top-10-t.../
