Why are 90% of transit vans painted white?
Dan, Chigwell

Answer

** Definitive **
Name: Mark, Lower Kingswood
Qualification: I’ve bought and sold many vans
Answer: Having a white van gives you a higher resale value when you want to sell them on, as a white van is easier for sign-writing. It’s the same reason police cars are now silver, not white. Also, white paint doesn’t fade and people don’t look after their vans as much as they look after their cars.
