(read more in pros and cons)

COST-EFFICIENT – Ideal for long commutes and everyday errands
(around 8 miles/£ in my experience).

STRONG AND DURABLE VW ENGINE a favourite among high-mileage users.
STURDY BODY with high safety-rating.

COMFORTABLE DRIVE – I’ve genuinely loved it for my Scottish travels.

COMES WITH:
– Brand new battery
– A mix of new and nearly new tyres
– Additional spare tyres and tools

Only selling due to a move to Europe —otherwise I’d be getting the work done and keeping it.
