Hiya Gez. welcome to the forum.
You could try wider tires/wheels.Mine seems a little less top heavy since i fitted some 205s. It`s quite a narrow van compared to others. I would have said check your anti-roll bar bushes/drop links, but if you just MOT`d then I expect they`re ok.Though a pass doesn`t always mean best condition. Anyone else got any ideas?

Ta, wheels were only a £100 off fleabay. Only other thing I can think might improve front handling is new shockers. I got a complete set from here but haven`t had the time to fit them yet Iezura shocks If it stops raining, and I have the time, I`ll bang them all on and see what difference it makes to wandering wheels.
