This is a rare opportunity to own a collector-grade, "turn-key" Mazda Bongo. Originally hand-picked from the salt-free Osaka region of Japan, this has been our much-loved family adventure vehicle. As a motor vehicle technician with 20 years of experience, I have maintained this van to the highest possible standard to ensure my family stayed safe and reliable on every camping trip—after all, nobody wants a breakdown to ruin a holiday.

Unrivalled History & Provenance:

This vehicle comes with a "Golden Folder" of documentation that is virtually impossible to find on a UK import.

- Two Owners from New in Japan: Documented life with just two careful owners in the Osaka region before arriving in the UK.

- Complete Japanese History: Includes the original Mazda Anfini Osaka dealer wallet, factory owner's manuals, and original service logs dating back to its delivery in 2001.

- Verified Mileage: A perfect linear history from 2001 to 2026. (Note: The last two MOTs incorrectly recorded KM as Miles; I have the paperwork to prove the odometer has always measured in KM).

- Living History: I have even tracked the van’s original home in Japan via Google Street View.

- Dry Climate Import: Sourced from Osaka, meaning it escaped the harsh, salted roads of Northern Japan. The chassis is remarkably solid and has been professionally preserved.

Mechanical "Future-Proofing" (2023–2026):

Using my 20 years of trade experience, I have proactively addressed every common Bongo requirement:

- Cooling System Overhaul: ALL main rubber coolant pipes replaced, thermostat renewed, and system flushed with Long Life Pink coolant.

- Reliability Upgrades: PCV system vacuum pipes replaced along with upgrading the plastic 'T' piece with a brass replacement.

- Engine & Ignition: Timing Belt & Water Pump replaced (2023). Full distributor rebuild with 10mm Performance leads and Bosch Super 4 plugs. New Rocker Cover gasket.

- Belts & Tensioners: Alternator/Power Steering belt and tensioner pulley replaced with Genuine Mazda parts. Aircon belt and tensioner pulley also replaced. (Belt genuine Mazda part pulley OE quality part)

- Steering & Suspension: Reconditioned Power Steering Rack fitted (2025). Full Heavy-Duty (+25% Rating) spring and shock absorber upgrade (sourced from Auto Jap Spares, Coventry) for vastly improved handling. (Unbelievable improvement from standard)

- Chassis Protection: Professionally undersealed upon import; personally deep-cleaned and refreshed with Hammerite Waxoyl in March 2026.

-Full service completed March 2026 using all genuine Mazda filters and high quality Castrol 10w40 magnetic oil.

- Tyres: Premium Cooper Discoverer All-Season tyres (Fronts Brand New March '26, Rears like new July '25) on Zauber alloy wheels.

Interior & Modern Comfort:

- 8-Seater Versatility: Original upholstery in excellent condition; seats fold into a full-width bed.

- Large Touchscreen Head Unit with Bluetooth capabilities.

- Original Japanese speedo face refitted for a clean OEM look; MPH is provided via a dedicated Head-Up Display (HUD).

-Air Conditioning professionally re-gassed (ice-cold).

-JDM Panasonic ETC (electric toll collection) unit still fitted.(Voice still active she greets you when you turn the key)

-JDM emergency electronic flare still fitted and working.

This Bongo has been a cherished member of our family, maintained without compromise by a professional to ensure total reliability on every trip. It is fully sorted, rust-protected, and ready to create many more years of memories. You won't find another example with this level of verified Japanese history and mechanical care—it truly is one-of-a-kind.
