I am about to buy one of these and my only worry is that if it breaks there won't be parts available due to its age. What do you guys think - is this something to worry about?

Is the base vehicle an LDV?

Nowt wrong with an LDV Convoy in it's day, I had two, but the company closed down in 2008.
Which means the only spares will come from scrappers.

Personally I'd look for something else.
Plenty out there based on Mercedes, Ford and Fiat

With older vans, rust is the killer.

I'd also seriously look at the sort of use and where you want to go.
Keeping in mind that any diesel van built before 2015/Euro 5 is running on borrowed time, with the places you will be able to go will get more restricted year on year.

(Towns and cities across Europe will progressively ban or limit (financially or by hours) older Diesel vehicles.)
