Description
2005 VW T5 Transporter 8 Seater
1.9TDI engine
V5c showing as a minibus
160,000 miles (still in daily use)
12 months MOT left
Lots of history including recent (6months): Clutch & dual mass flywheel, timing belt & waterpump, thermostat, power steering pump and hose, tensioner and belt.
Twin sliding doors, with tailgate rear. Rear passenger windows replaced with aftermarket ones as VW originals are often prone to leaks/issues. Factory roller blinds for rear windows.
Rear passenger heater
Tow bar fitted, but I've never used, roof bars also fitted.
Alloy wheels (19s)
Rear can be either people carrier /minibus with seats, all removed for van space or rear seats can be folded down with DIY bed usable in the rear for camping - very versatile vehicle. Front passenger seat also on a swivel base.
I do also have a table that was previously bolted in behind drivers seat to make a useful day van with middle seats removed - table will come with van although I can't currently find the bolts (easy to replace).
Comes with thermal window shades for all round windows.
There are a few small issues as it is a 20 year old vehicle:
Some imperfections/peeling from the paintwork as well as a couple of minor scratches: see pictures for details
Intermittent issue with f/n/S Indicator/headlight (replacement aftermarket bulbs with van, haven't had time to sort wiring /revert to stock.)
Front fog lights currently not working.
Heater fan speed controls working on settings 1-3 but not 4 (I haven't found it to be a big issue so haven't sorted)
Parking sensors fitted but not working.
Rear bench seat, the plastic clip has broken for the release catch pulley. There is a makeshift repair and more importantly the seats can be released to fold or locked up into place correctly so again, hasn't been too much of an issue for me.
Trying to be as honest as I can, so these issues are also reflected in the price.
This has been a fantastic vehicle for me and my family as useful in many ways, loads of space for carrying things, been used as a mini bus, long journeys and many family days out and camping trips, unfortunately not getting as much use for this recently and short commute means I am now downsizing to a smaller petrol car.
Any questions or viewing welcome, please text or email due to shift work and I'll respond as soon as I can.
