Refrigerated vans we buy
Chilled panel vansInsulated load spaceDescribe the insulated lining, doors and floor as well as the base van. Mention cracks, damaged seals, water getting into the lining or holes left by fittings. If the load area has more than one compartment, explain the layout. Photos of the interior help show wear that an exterior picture of the van will miss.Freezer vansTell us the intended temperatureSay whether the vehicle was used for chilled or frozen goods and give the cooling unit's make and model if known. Describe its current performance using information you already have. If it no longer reaches the required temperature, explain that rather than describing it as fully working because the unit switches on.Refrigerated box bodiesSeparate body and cooling equipmentA box-bodied fridge vehicle may have extra doors, a tail lift or standby power. List the fitted equipment and say which functions you know to be working. Include the body builder's details and cooling service records where available. Tell us if controls, cables, shelves or other removable equipment are missing from the sale.Selling your fridge van?
The cooling unit can fail while the van still drives normally. Explain both conditions when asking for a valuation. Existing refrigeration service invoices and fault reports are useful alongside the vehicle's service history, especially if repairs were attempted but the temperature problem remains.

Josh DayQuestions about selling your fridge van
Do you buy a fridge van when the fridge is broken?
Yes. Tell us what the unit does when used, any fault messages and the diagnosis if a refrigeration engineer has already provided one. A unit that runs without cooling needs to be described that way. Include the base vehicle's condition too, even if the refrigeration fault is your main reason for selling.
What if I do not know the cooling specification?
Use the information on existing equipment paperwork or the unit's identification plate if you can read it safely. Say what you do know, such as its previous use for chilled deliveries. There is no need to guess a temperature rating or capacity. Photos can show the equipment and its controls.
Should I include refrigeration service history?
Yes, if you have it. Cooling equipment may have separate maintenance records from the van itself. Gather invoices for repairs to the unit, door seals or insulated body, and note problems that continued afterwards. Tell us if those records are missing so the enquiry reflects the information actually available.
Can I sell a refrigerated van with a failed engine?
We buy non-runners, including fridge vans. Explain whether the engine turns over, starts briefly or stopped while driving. Let us know if the cooling unit can only run with the engine, or if its condition is unknown. Collection can be arranged from a garage where the vehicle is already parked.
How should I prepare it for collection?
Remove remaining stock and your own equipment, then gather the keys, V5C and available vehicle and cooling records. Say what shelving or removable fittings are included. If the vehicle is financed, get a settlement letter for the team to discuss. Payment is made before loading on collection day.
