Description

This van has been much more than just a vehicle to us — it’s genuinely been part of our family. We’ve made so many memories in it, travelling all around the UK and even taking a few trips over to France. It’s been an amazing companion for family adventures, and honestly, I still don’t think there’s much out there that competes with it in this class of luxury vans, especially at this price point.

The only reason we’re letting it go is because life has changed. The kids are growing up fast, and between sports, music, studies, and busy schedules, we simply don’t have the time to travel the way we used to. It feels wrong seeing it not been used to its full potential when it deserves to be enjoyed properly. On top of that, keeping three cars for our family has become a bit too much.

A huge amount of work has been done to keep it in great mechanical condition, especially over the last 18–24 months, including:

* Engine mounts
* 4 new injectors
* Front Sachs struts & KYB springs
* Rear shocks by KYB, airbags & compressor
* New Varta top-of-the-range battery
* Alternator
* Flaps
* New A/C compressor pump
* 19'' alloys with new tires not long ago
* Brembo brake pads and MTEC Grooved/Drilled Brake discs black edition
* Many more to mention
* Loads of paperwork + Almost FSH, as some of them are lost

It also has a dash cam installed, which helps slightly with insurance, plus a separate screen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and Waze — honestly one of the best additions we made to the van.

A few honest points worth mentioning:

The sunroof leaks during very heavy rain. It may just be a blocked drain, but I’ve never looked into it properly as we rarely use the sunroof anyway (it’s quite noisy on motorways). I simply seal it with waterproof tape and it’s never really bothered us.
Bodywork isn’t perfect — there are a few dings and a couple of annoying hit-and-run marks collected over the years. Nothing major, but worth being upfront about. It would definitely benefit from a proper machine polish thanks to our lovely country lanes.
And of course, there are the usual age-related marks you’d expect.

The van is still being used occasionally, so mileage may go up slightly.
