This van looks great, really nice spec, low mileage but seems to be priced at least 10k under anything else at the same spec.
Why is it so cheap?
Suspiciously cheap?

There’s loads of scams on T6’s on eBay
Be very wary
As above if it looks too good to be true…….

If that's the sort of thing I was looking for I'd contact the seller and arrange to see it, but I'd expect to see it at the location of the photographs taken in the advert, if it was anywhere else I'd just drive away without even speaking to the seller.
The seller has made no effort to conceal the registration plates in the images, which is a good sign.
There are some bargains out there among the scams, as others have said, you just have to be careful.

Priced to sell? I think if it were nearby I'd be going to have a look and have a good long chat about it. They seem quite genuine in the ad, but obviously with zero feedback and seller joined in January 26 it's not ideal. MOT history is good and I can't find any cloned photos on google lens.
Mentions family emergency- maybe they need funds quickly.
Main thing would be to check ALL vin numbers match, seller has the V5 and you see them actually go in/out the registered address. Read this in detail to see why…

If the number plate in the pictures is correct, you could always run a check on it to see if anything flags up as part of your enquiries.
SCAM.
This is from June last year. As already said, biggest red flag is zero feedback and account opened this month on ebay. Don't waste your time with this one.
General advice for other purchases - Number plates, vin numbers, log books and service books are very commonly cloned. Unless you are an expert in identifying stolen vehicles I would be extremely careful if buying privately. HPI checks etc on a cloned vehicle will all come back OK as you're checking the cloned registration, VIN number etc.

This is great info. I think I'll leave this one well alone!
