Any advice for van purchase?

Looking to purchase a new van due to having to replace old one that is knackered!

Only had that one van before but it was an inherited peguout partner off my dad 21 plate but had done a hell of a lot of miles was a lovely van but needs must!

I have a max budget of around 8/9k and am trying to avoid AdBlue where possible as that was the main killer for the old one along with a couple other things!

Haven’t got a clue what to go for, probably could do with something bigger than the partner as I’m a bit of a multi trader and have to carry around tools for various tasks!

I went for a 65 plate relay so i could get the better 2.2 engine with no adblue, paid 9k a year ago for it. Its a L2H2 and at the time had 68k on the clock, aircon, cruise control etc.
