Sorry mate cant help even tho I live close to you

Do you have any details of vehicle incl Milage & sevice history ?

What is so unusual about it that makes you want an "engineer" is there no service record. does it start and run without undue noise and smoke

Hi and welcome SeanandJen :thumb: Both the AA and RAC do vehicle inspections -not sure if they do anything with the mh bit but they would do the engine/driving bits--I would go look at the van and if everything is ok and you are still unsure engine wise go on a test drive and take it to a local to seller garage and ask a mechanic to listen to engine for you -prob cost a fiver for him a drink Find your own not one the seller says -Like Tecno says you can hear most things and if you drive it and still unsure then get a AA type inspection done before buying There may be a funster local to the van that could meet and assist you ?

i dont buy any vans without checking the engine for fault codes if the service record looks wrong. fortunately i have my own code reader and have enough knowledge to know what I am looking at. anyone can buy a cheap code reader off ebay and then look up any fault codes using google

if you are concerned in any way about the mechanicals and need help, i suggest you take a local mechanic with you. preferably the one that you will have look after your investment. Take a look yourself first and if you want to move forward, then pay the mechanic to look it over. if the seller wont allow this walk away
