How is the body?  When a cam belt goes on a diesel engine the engine get really damaged, so it could cost a lot. 

The real question is how good is the TC and what is the replacement cost of  comparable Van?

When an engine breaks a timing belt or chain while running, it can cause valves and pistons to come in contact.  This will cause bent valves, broken pistons, and possibly broken camshaft.  I was lucky once when I was driving my Ford Courier and the belt broke.  All I had to do is replace the broken timing belt.
