Why Choose Das WeltAuto for Your Next Van?
The used van market can often feel like a minefield, with potential buyers wary of hidden issues and future expenses. Das WeltAuto aims to eliminate these concerns by offering a selection of used vans that are not only competitively priced but also rigorously checked and comprehensively supported. Our commitment is to deliver vehicles that are in perfect working order, giving you the assurance that your new van is ready to tackle the demands of your business from day one. This dedication extends beyond the initial sale, with robust warranty and roadside assistance packages designed to keep you moving.
The Das WeltAuto Multi-Point Check: A Deeper Dive
The cornerstone of our commitment to quality is the extensive multi-point check. Our highly skilled Volkswagen technicians undertake a thorough examination of each van, leaving no stone unturned. This meticulous process involves a comprehensive series of mechanical, electrical, and visual inspections. We delve deep into the van's systems, identifying and rectifying any potential faults using only genuine Volkswagen-approved parts. This ensures that the vehicle not only meets but often exceeds the expected standards for a used commercial vehicle. Following these repairs, each van undergoes a rigorous full road test to confirm its performance and reliability. Finally, a comprehensive valet leaves the van looking pristine, presenting a professional image for your business.
What Does the Multi-Point Check Cover?
To give you a clearer picture of our thoroughness, here's a breakdown of key areas typically covered:
| Category | Specific Checks |
|---|---|
| Mechanical | Engine performance, gearbox operation, clutch, brakes, suspension, exhaust system, fluid levels and condition. |
| Electrical | Battery, charging system, lighting, wipers, horn, dashboard warning lights, infotainment systems, and all powered accessories. |
| Bodywork & Interior | Chassis integrity, body panel condition, paintwork, doors, windows, seats, interior trim, and cargo area. |
| Tyres & Wheels | Tyre tread depth and condition, wheel alignment, and alloy wheel condition. |
| Diagnostics | On-board computer diagnostics to check for fault codes. |
Beyond the physical inspection, Das WeltAuto places significant emphasis on thorough vehicle data checks. We understand that transparency is paramount, and we take care of all the essential paperwork and background checks for you. This includes verifying the vehicle's registration details, confirming the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), reviewing the service history to ensure consistent maintenance, and validating the mileage. Crucially, we conduct comprehensive history checks through reputable agencies like HPI or Experian. These checks scrutinise the van's past for any outstanding finance, reported plate transfers, or records of theft. This diligent approach ensures there are no hidden surprises lurking in the van's history. To provide you with ultimate confidence, we even supply a certificate confirming that all these essential data checks have been completed on your van.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Complimentary 5-Day Insurance
To further ease your transition into a new used van, Das WeltAuto often includes complimentary 5-day insurance provided by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. This valuable benefit offers immediate protection from the moment you drive away, allowing you to focus on your business without immediate insurance concerns. Please note that this is a trading name of Volkswagen Financial Services (UK) Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
The Right to Exchange Policy: Your Satisfaction Guaranteed
We are so confident in the quality and suitability of our used vans that we offer a unique right to exchange policy. If, for any reason, you are not completely satisfied with your Das WeltAuto used commercial vehicle, or if it doesn't precisely meet your business requirements, you have the option to exchange it for another vehicle of the same or higher value. The duration of this exchange period varies: for vehicles purchased that are under 3 years old, you have 30 days for an exchange. For vehicles over 3 years of age, the exchange period is 7 days. This policy underscores our commitment to your satisfaction and ensures you find the perfect van for your needs. It's important to note that this policy is subject to the vehicle being returned in the same condition as when collected, having not covered more than 1,000 miles from purchase, and any additional balance being paid. This does not affect your statutory consumer rights.
Comprehensive Used Van Warranty: Lasting Peace of Mind
The warranty provided with a Das WeltAuto used van is a testament to our belief in the quality of our vehicles. Our skilled technicians' thorough inspection and reconditioning process means that when you purchase a van, it's in excellent condition. This is further reinforced by our robust warranty offerings:
- Vans under three years old: A minimum of 12 months Volkswagen warranty and Roadside Assistance is provided.
- Vans over three years old: A minimum of 6 months Volkswagen warranty and Roadside Assistance is included.
- Vans under two years old: We also include the balance of the manufacturer's warranty, which covers the vehicle until it reaches 3 years old or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Our warranty covers the cost of repairs, replacement parts, and labour up to the current market value of the covered vehicle. Importantly, there is absolutely no excess to pay on approved claims. The warranty specifically covers key components such as the engine, gearbox, steering, and suspension, including the associated parts. For each warranty claim, there is a maximum limit of £300 in total during the period of cover, subject to authorisation by Volkswagen Warranty Administration.
Reliable Roadside Assistance: Help When You Need It Most
Breakdowns can be costly and disruptive to any business. That's why every Das WeltAuto used van comes with comprehensive Roadside Assistance. This 24-hour, 365-day-a-year service provides help wherever you are, whether at home or on the road, across the UK and Europe, with no limit on call-outs. We understand that downtime directly impacts your profitability. Therefore, in the event of a breakdown and subsequent recovery to a Volkswagen Van Centre, a replacement vehicle will be provided if your van cannot be repaired within a reasonable timeframe.
