› freevanvaluation.com is the cheap first pass. Enter a registration, see whether the advert matches the record, and decide whether the car is worth a journey — before anyone spends money on a full report or a tank of fuel. Free van valuation using live UK market data. Trade and retail prices for vans up to 7.5 tonnes. Everything below is written for the UK market specifically: UK registers, UK categories, UK law.
Data sourced from DVLA, MIAFTR, contracted stolen-vehicle data and the UK lender register at lookup time.
Typical lookup completes in under one second from the UK.
Built and supported in the UK as part of the consumer side of the network.
For vehicles over £10,000, ex-fleet stock, anything advertised as 'just imported' or any car where the registered address sits a long way from the listing, treat a summary check as a starting point rather than the verdict. a full vehicle history report, a pre-purchase inspection at the seller's address and a finance settlement letter where applicable are the three layers that catch the cases a quick lookup will not.
120,000 miles on a five-year-old diesel van is normal where the same figure on a five-year-old car would be high. The valuation and condition guidance in the report use commercial-vehicle benchmarks rather than passenger-car benchmarks so the headline figures are realistic for the segment.
Vans frequently sit on commercial HP, finance lease or contract hire agreements rather than personal HP or PCP. The check searches both the consumer finance registers and the commercial-vehicle finance registers, so a van still on a fleet lease does not slip through a consumer-only history search.

freevanvaluation.com now operates as part of Expert Car Check — the same van-friendly lookup, with the wider car, finance and insurance tooling layered alongside it. The data sources are unchanged: DVLA's vehicle record, DVSA's MOT history, MIAFTR for write-offs, contracted UK data providers for stolen-vehicle markers and the UK lender register for outstanding finance. The team and the support contact are the same. What's changed is that the work that was previously spread across several smaller brands now sits in one place, which keeps response times tight and the underlying registers maintained against current DVLA schemas. Bookmarks and historic links to freevanvaluation.com continue to resolve here. If you were referred to freevanvaluation.com by a previous report, broker or print listing, this is the right page — there is no further redirect to chase.

Commercial mileage is typically much higher than passenger-car mileage for the same age; the valuation model uses commercial benchmarks so 120,000 miles on a five-year-old diesel van isn't penalised the way it would be on a car.
Yes, particularly Sprinters, Transits and Vivaros from 2014 onwards. Recovery rates are also lower than for cars. A stolen-vehicle marker check is included; buyer-side prevention measures matter more for vans.
Considerably. A multi-drop parcel van and a site van of identical age and mileage wear very differently, particularly the clutch, brakes and door mechanisms. Ask about the duty cycle and check the advisory history supports the answer.
Only if it suits your trade. Removal reveals drilled panels that need sealing to prevent corrosion, so budget for the strip-out rather than treating fitted racking as a free extra.
