I think that it's nonsense to say that just because it's a bargain it must be stolen. There may be many reasons why a van may seem cheap.  They do need checking out carefully.

I also don't see that registering at dvla will do anything that CHRis doesn't or cannot do and I don't want to pay £100 year to use my van on the road for about 10% or less of the miles my car spends on the road for about £165 a year.

Didn't it say that most recently manufactured vans had an identity chip (like they have with dogs etc) hidden inside the bodywork somewhere?

Dave?

Also as per another thread, there could be HP outstanding on the caravan. Some people don't bother with CRIS registration as it is not compulsory and it is only when they go to sell the caravan and the potential buyer does a check that issues come to light.
Any one that buys a caravan worth £10000 for £6000 in a lay bye must suspect that there is something dodgy going on and is obviously hoping to get way with it. Sorry no sympathy there as that could your or my caravan being flogged on the sly.
