Buy A Used Van UK

Looking for the best place to buy a used van and based near Slough? You’ve probably come across a bewildering list of private sellers, online marketplaces and nationwide dealerships. It can feel like a minefield, especially when you’re investing in something as essential as a van for your business.

At Huntswood Van Centre, we do things differently. As a family-run van dealership based in Horton (Datchet), just 15 minutes from Slough, Windsor, and Maidenhead, we’ve built our business over the last 30 years on one key principle: treat every customer like they matter.

Here’s why so many buyers across Berkshire and the surrounding locations are choosing Huntswood for their next van — and why we believe we’re one of the best places to do just that.

1. A Trusted Reputation Built Over Three Decades

As the years pass, dealers come and go. However, we’ve delivered 30 years of consistent, customer-focused service. Huntswood Van Centre isn’t part of an impersonal chain or a sales-heavy corporation. We’re a family-run team who’ve grown through word-of-mouth and trust from buyers in the local area. We have many repeat customers who love what we do. 

2. Mechanical Inspections by In-House Experts

Buying a used van feels risky if you don’t know what’s under the bonnet. That’s why every van we sell is inspected by our own qualified, in-house mechanics. We don’t just carry out a quick once-over, but:

  • Full mechanical checks
  • Service history review
  • MOT verification
  • Road tests

You will never be left wondering what condition the van is in. Instead, we’re committed to providing complete peace of mind from the start.

3. A 12-Month Warranty As Standard

Many used van dealers either charge extra for warranties or offer limited cover. At Huntswood, we include a 12-month warranty with every single van we sell, at no extra cost.

This covers you against mechanical faults and defects, giving you real assurance that if something does go wrong, we’re here to help. We always stand by the quality of what we sell, and want you to be completely satisfied. 

4. Free Nationwide Collection or Delivery

You might want to explore our showroom in Horton, Slough. However, you don’t need to be local when buying from us. In fact, many of our customers are based across the UK. That’s why we offer free nationwide collection or delivery. We bring the van to your door, or arrange a convenient handover if you’re picking up.

How it works:

  • Browse vans online or contact us directly for options
  • We’ll send detailed photos, video walkarounds, and full spec sheets
  • Once you’ve chosen your van, we’ll arrange everything
  • Delivery is handled by professionals, and it’s completely free

This makes buying a used van simpler, faster, and more flexible, no matter where you’re based in the UK.

5. Wide Range of Quality Vans, Ready to Drive Away

Our stock changes regularly, but we consistently offer a solid range of well-maintained, reliable vans across popular makes and models like:

  • Ford Transit Custom
  • Volkswagen Transporter
  • Peugeot Expert
  • Citroën Dispatch
  • Vauxhall Vivaro

And more…

Whether you need something compact, mid-sized, or built for heavy loads, we help match you to the right vehicle for your business or lifestyle.

6. No Pressure, No Pushy Sales Tactics

We don’t believe in aggressive sales techniques. Our team wants to help you make the right decision, not just to close a deal.

Our staff aren’t commission-driven. Instead, we take the time to answer questions, talk through features, and give honest opinions on what would (and wouldn’t) suit your needs.

If a van’s not right for you, we’ll say so. That’s how we’ve earned our reputation, and it’s why our customers trust us.

7. Flexible Finance and Part Exchange Options

Need finance? Want to trade in your current vehicle? No problem! Here at Huntswood Van Centre we offer:

  • Competitive finance plans
  • Quick approval
  • Part exchange deals (including for cars and older vans)

Whether you’re buying a van for the first-time, or expanding your fleet, we’ll help find a solution that works for your budget.

8. An Excellent Location for Buyers Across the UK

Our base in Horton, near Datchet, is just off the M4 and easily accessible from Slough (10–15 mins), Windsor (10 mins), Maidenhead (15 mins), and Reading, Heathrow, and West London (within 30 mins). 

If you’re nearby, you’re welcome to pop by for a test drive. You will also find that after-sales support is quick and easy. You get all the benefits of a local dealer, who nonetheless has a national delivery network.
