Description

Well-maintained and full of character, this 4-seater Mazda Bongo 2.5 V6 petrol automatic is ready for new adventures. With a pop-top roof, side kitchen, and rock-and-roll bed, it's a practical and fun camper with a long list of recent mechanical upgrades. Only selling due to a change in circumstances - this van has been genuinely loved and cared for. Campervan Features: + Pop-top roof with memory foam boards (sleeps 2) + Rock and roll bed in rear (extra long, sleeps 2) with 2x 3-point seat belts + Side kitchen professionally converted by JAL Imports: + Gas hob (with bottle) + Sink with tap, fresh & waste water bottles + Fridge + LED lighting (runs of leisure battery) + Leisure battery with split charge system - new Jan 2025 + Electric hook up + Reverse camera, parking sensors, and Apple/Android CarPlay stereo + Rearview mirror camera, enabling full rear view, with dash cam front front and back. Mechanical Work and Upgrades: + New cambelt (Mar 2025 - precautionary; also done 2018) + New brake discs & pads (Jan 2025) + New crankshaft sensor (July 2025) + New radiator, thermostat, & exhaust back box (Sept 2024) + Distributor cap, rotary arms & leads replaced (July 2025) + 4x new Michelin CrossClimate tyres (Jan 2025) + LPG system serviced July 2024 (not currently in use, as no refilling stations near me) + Bodywork: New inner/outer sills, OSR wheel arch, NSF sill (Mar 2024) + Coolant alarm fitted Notes & Honest Details: + Aircon needs re-gassing + Small rust patch under on the sliding door sill (see photos) and some corrosion inside bottom left of boot door - not a structural problem. + Rear door sensor occasionally makes a clunk - common Bongo quirk + Hydraulic tappets tick slightly - garage not concerned + Underseal refresh was planned for this summer, but advised against (to maintain transparency, so new buyer can see without cover up) This is a 25-year-old camper that's been carefully maintained, mechanically sound, and full of character. It's ideal for someone looking for a reliable, retro camper with charm and capability, and great as an everyday vehicle around town too - super nippy and easy to drive and park!
