Description
Well-maintained 6-seat T5 Kombi used as a family/day van. Highish mileage, but drives and pulls very well with extensive mechanical and interior work recently. It's a very usable, well-maintained Transporter with significant work completed and plenty of life left. Ready to drive and enjoy immediately, perfect as a family vehicle, or a camper base.

I asked Chat GPT about the above work in 2016, it said:
"That 2016 work sounds like a major top-end rebuild. This work helps explain why the engine continues to run strongly despite the mileage".

Dodomat Sound deadening to floor, walls and ceiling
Floor, walls, and ceiling are insulated with premium DodoMat materials
New ply panels and carpet finish for walls and ceiling.
