Since many used vans come from airport shuttles, churches, or rental fleets, they often have high mileage or have endured "hard" stop-and-go driving [7].
If safety is your absolute top priority for a church or school, a Multi-Function School Activity Bus (MFSB) is often more stable than a traditional van [17].
Buying a used 15-passenger van is a big investment that requires a shift in how you think about driving. However, for those who need the space, nothing else compares to the versatility and capability of a full-size van.
Historically, these vans have a higher risk of rollovers when fully loaded. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends strictly monitoring tire pressure to maintain stability [17, 24].
Look for leather or vinyl seats if you have kids; cloth upholstery in used vans is notorious for holding onto stains and odors [14].
