We got one as a horse box . Been totally reliable for years considering it only gets used about twice a month and only short trips . I am amazed it starts to be honest .

The single rear wheels would put me off. I guess it depends on what work you do and where you need to get the van in/out of.

Have had most vans over the years and the Movano was the best by a very long way.

Don't know if that translates to tippers though.

2.5 engines are good. Make sure it has an undertray. Without one, the auxiliary belt tensioners fall apart quickly. The handbrake will drag until you modify the calipers. Luckily calipers are also cheap.

Single wheels for arb 😕 if it is 2.3 it’s good if it’s 2.0 those are problematic .

What are the disadvantages in having single rear wheel?
