Not to keen on the Mit L300 diesel personally although the Sprinters arent bad, but seem to take ages getting warranty and servicing work booked in. Also the heaters and driveshafts can be a problem. I opted for Transits again (rear wheel drive model only) although the VW Transporters have twin side doors and are pretty good as are the Toyota Powervans.
Most of the ex BT vans I looked at were very low mileage, but were really hanging....Kept hearing the one careful driver garbage as well
as if?
Try Blackbushe auctions, it on every week via BCA and theres always stacks of the little monsters there....

Ive had a L200 that was nice but had a poor turning circle so was a nightmare to park and liked to drink diesel.
Got a belingo van and thats great (in a van kind of way) its nippy, good mpg and comfortable.

Go for a sprinter ultimate van.
Had my 312 for 5 years 280,000 miles same clutch (FULLY LOADED)
never let me down.
Servicing overnight warranty never a problem book in next day.
Got a 313 not as good(fast) but still better than any tran****e lol
Once you had a sprinter you will never change IMHO
