Check to see if you've lost a wheel balancing weight. A very badly balanced wheel can cause all sorts of vibrations.

Hi
I agree on checking tyres etc., but increasing when braking sounds suspiciously like a warped or worn disc...The Bongo has problems with tracking, wheel balance and discs. When you have them all sorted, it's a good ride, and they are all simple jobs.
