Is it normal for engine to shake at idle?
Often, your car shakes when idle simply because it’s time to replace your spark plugs! When yours are dirty or worn out, they fail to fire in the right way. If this happens, they’re unable to ignite the fuel located within each of the piston cylinders on time. As a result, your engine can misfire.

If the Bongo has rear heating and air conditioning, get in the back and make sure it works via the controls on the side pocket. Bongos need a rear fog light to pass the UK MOT. Check that one has been fitted – it’s surprises me to still see Bongos with an MOT but no rear fog light.
