Description
Meet Max, our trusty family ride for the best part of the last 14 years. He's a very well maintained, straight and honest T5 factory combi. I have all service history and since I've owned him he's only been maintained by non-franchise VW specialists. A file of paperwork backs this up.
Recent work includes:
Cambelt/water pump, O/S driveshaft, front engine mount @ 155k
Gearbox rebuild/clutch/DMF @159k
Last service @ 165k
Rear springs @ 166k
MOT to November '26
There are some very light city-related dinks and scuffs but he's in overall great shape for his age with no rust. If I was going to keep it I would probably splurge on a respray. The interior is clean and straight with no upholstery damage, rips or tears. The speakers have been upgraded to Vibe and the stereo sounds great. The roof, side panels and doors (excluding the tailgate have sound deadening and insulation.
The van drives superbly well and would be a great daily family drive or a blank canvass for a spring conversion project. I bought a Volvo 4x4 a year ago and have been agonising ever since whether to sell or not but I think it's time someone else enjoys Max like we have done!
