I've just run a search on vehicles within twenty-five miles of my local area, and it worked fine when I tried it. I then increased the distance to within fifty miles of my local area, and again it worked without any problems. The only difference was that I didn't just put "car" or "van" in the search bar - I entered the make and model of the vehicle in question as well. It pulled up quite a few results, with each one saying how many miles away it was, so I'm not sure why it's not working for you when you try to use the feature. The only other factor that may be causing some difference between whether or not people can or cannot find results when they try to narrow the result down to vehicles wtihin a certain distance from their own addrss is that I'm still using Classic View on my account, as opposed to eBay's new "improved" version. Perhaps that's got something to do with it?
If you're using an app to try and run a search then try using a laptop or a computer to run a search for the type of vehicle you're looking for, as eBay's app is known to be pretty lame to say the least.
If nothing else works PM me your postcode and some details of the make and model of the vehicle you're trying to find, and I'll see if I can find any results when I search it using my own laptop. If I find anything that might be suitable I'll PM you the item listing numbers of the vehicles in question so that you can look them up using the Advanced Search option and make a decision as to whether or not you feel they're worth checking out further.
