Description
Reluctantly selling our 2009 Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life 1.9 TDI DSG semi-automatic, showing 65,204 miles.
This is the MPV / Maxi Life version, not a basic van, so it is insured as a car, which has made it cheaper and easier to insure than a converted commercial van. It also retains proper rear seating and a more comfortable, car-like setup.
We are only selling because we are moving house and it no longer fits our plans.
It has been a brilliant compact camper and day van for us, used for surf trips, weekends away and longer European trips, including driving it to Spain and back. It has been reliable, economical and easy to live with.

Interior and condition
The interior is tidy and comfortable for its age. It has smart black seat covers fitted front and rear. The rear passenger seats remain in place, so it can still be used as a proper five-seater MPV when needed.
The paintwork reflects the car's age and use, particularly as it has been used properly for trips. The bumper would benefit from being resprayed. This has been reflected in the description and should be expected when viewing.
