When a vehicle is regularly used and cared for, large-scale internal defects are a matter of mileage rather than age. Most auto manufacturers with specific maintenance packages for vans have them at specific milestones, such as every 10000 or 40000 miles for different checks, repairs or replacements. As a potential purchaser, using the mileage as a proxy for internal wear is a good strategy, especially when coupled with the full maintenance records, and potentially a third-party multi-point inspection.

Deriving a more general heuristic, delivery van maintenance costs often tick up after the fifth year of regular service use, indicating more frequent repairs to more expensive components. Thus, the median delivery van starts to show defects around its sixth or seventh year of age.
