Common bodies for light CVs
Tippers: It's hard to find clean, used examples, simply because of the job that tippers are built to do. Vehicles from the construction industry are often soiled with concrete or asphalt, reducing their value. Three-way tippers are particularly rare and desirable.
Dropsiders: Condition and mileage are critical. Buyers like the rare longer-bodied examples. Double dropsides also add value, but tail-lifts tend to be a disadvantage unless the second user needs them; otherwise they are seen as lost payload.
Fridge/treezer vans: Used buyers will look at the van itself, the fridge/freezer box and the cooling system.
Buyers tend to avoid older, high-mileage examples as these could be a false economy in the long run. Once they find the right age and condition, they look for dual-fridge capability and multicompartment interiors, with easy access via rear-leaf doors.
Having the fridge set up to run off an external power source for overnight standby can boost demand. Freezers must have fully insulated slab-doors; side and rear access is preferred. Alloy boxvans: These must be lined, and GAP bodies are more desirable. The warning about tail-lifts on dropsiders also applies to boxvans.
Luton: These are more popular than standard boxvans; as a rule of thumb, the bigger the better— but be careful not to match a Luton body with an underpowered chassis. Dropwells add significantly to the value. Crewcabs: These cost more and limit payload and space. For most second users, a crewcab is an unwanted luxury— in general, a single cab will be easier to sell.
