What should I check when buying a used VW campervan?
When buying a used VW campervan, thoroughly inspect the bodywork for rust, especially around the wheel arches, sills, and windscreen. Check the engine for leaks and unusual noises. Examine the interior for dampness and ensure all appliances (cooker, fridge, heater) are in good working order. A full service history is highly desirable.
What are the legal requirements for driving a campervan in the UK?
You need a valid UK driving licence to drive a campervan. Check the maximum authorised mass (MAM) of the campervan and ensure your licence covers vehicles of that weight. All occupants must wear seatbelts where fitted. Be aware of speed limits for campervans, which may differ from car speed limits on certain roads. Ensure the vehicle has a valid MOT certificate.
What safety features should I prioritise when buying a VW campervan?
Prioritise campervans with working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Check the condition of the tyres and ensure they have adequate tread depth. Inspect the brakes and suspension for wear and tear. If the campervan has gas appliances, ensure they are professionally inspected and certified for safety.
What questions should I ask the seller about a VW campervan's maintenance history?
Ask about the frequency of servicing, including oil changes and filter replacements. Enquire about any major repairs or replacements, such as the timing belt or clutch. Request documentation of any warranty work or recalls. Understanding the vehicle's maintenance history can help you assess its overall condition and potential future costs.
What should I consider regarding insurance for a VW campervan in the UK?
Campervan insurance can be more expensive than regular car insurance. Shop around for quotes and compare coverage options. Consider factors such as the value of the vehicle, your driving history, and the level of protection you require. Some insurers specialise in campervan insurance and may offer tailored policies.
