Van Conversion Part 2 - Knowing what your in for

Do You Know What Your In For?

Buy this point you have picked out what style of van you want to buy (If not we recommend reading Van Conversion Part 1 - Seven things to consider before buying a Campervan). Your next step from here should be making sure you pick something out this is not only going have minimal mechanical or structural problems.

To help you do this I recommend following these next three steps. Each should provide a bit more information about the van and whether you're up to the challenge of either paying for repairs or doing them yourself.

  1. Ministry of Transport (MOT) aka Rego
  1. MOT history 
  1. AA Vehicle Inspection 

The next lot of steps can be done alongside the first three, but its just as easy to wait to you have an AA report telling you what you're in for. It's likely these steps won't change your mind about buying any particular van, but they will let you know what other hidden costs are lying around the corner. 


  1. Insurance 
  1. Vehicle Tax
  1. Vehicle Emissions (Driving in Greater London)


If you're from the UK then it's likely you will know what these are and won't need to worry about it. However, if you haven't held a UK drivers licence for more than two years then it's best to know what you're in for ahead of time.
