After just over 13 months of ownership, I have decided to sell my much-loved Mazda Bongo due to back issues. The van runs and drives exceptionally well with no known mechanical faults and has benefited from substantial maintenance and restoration work during my ownership. It has covered only around 1,000 km since I purchased it in May 2025. This is an ideal family camper/day van, retaining the original 8-seat configuration while also providing sleeping accommodation for up to four people. VEHICLE DETAILS: * 2003 Mazda Bongo Aero * 2.0 Petrol Automatic * 8 Seats * Electric Pop-Top Roof * Sleeps 2 adults in the roof bed plus 2 adults below with seats reclined * Electric blinds * Electric hook-up * Side awning * 189,742 km (approx. 118,000 miles) * MOT until 31 March 2027 - WITH NO ADVISORIES * Partial service history* RECENT MAINTENANCE & IMPROVEMENTS: * Serviced at 186,572 km (12 June 2025) * Coolant alarm fitted * Air conditioning re-gassed at 187,508 km * New drop links fitted * Front suspension arms replaced (14 February 2026) * Extensive professional underside restoration completed * Corroded sections cut out and replaced with new steel * New repair panels welded in * Underside treated and protected with rust-proofing materials * Over 2,100 spent on welding, steel replacement panels and underbody protection CONDITION: The van is in very good overall condition for its age and presents well.
