Points to Consider (honest bits)
-Idle rattle ( Dual Mass fly wheel) may need doing at some point soon, but drives fine. Been noisy for a while. (Quoted 1.5-2k)
-Oil pressure light flash 4 times on startup then goes out. It has done this for about 10 years and common fault.
-Electric wing mirrors clunky; passenger side slow, heated element may not work
Bodywork shows age - scratches, small dents, rust around windscreen, lacquer peel on roof
-Dent to front driver-side wing
-Rear washer not working (wiper fine)
-Driver door speaker intermittent
- spots of rust around windscreen and a few spots around wheels and lamination peeling on roof.
Honest, solid and well-loved T4 Caravelle. Not perfect, but a genuine van with plenty of life left and priced fairly to reflect the few known issues.
