There is no reasonable explanation for using several names to sell a vehicle.
Find another one that is sold by a genuine seller.

He's not selling the same vehicle under several names - read the OP.

OP he might have more than one dondeal account - lots of people do. Get the van checked out.

Van could be stolen, van not in sellers name, etc etc. I always try to purchase private from the actual registered owner, preferably who has owned it for some time.

Yeah that's a no-no from me.
Unless it's the only vehicle of its type in the country look at other ones instead.

Youre buying the van not moving in with the buyer. If its something you really want, its not big money and it meets all the standard checks including logbook etc. then you have nothing to worry about.

You're going to give some lad that doesn't know his own name €12k?
There are plenty of other vans out there, sold by people that aren't ashamed to use their real names. I'd suggest you try one of them.

Would that be the same with a Renault

And also does that mean I can still bring it back to a Vauxhall deal say up North for the full 5 years
