VW Crafter LWB (L3H2)
Reduced price for quick sale!
This is Melanie. Sheโs a 2014 VW Crafter LWB with a RARE Twin Turbo 163bhp engine, excellent for going up steep hills and towing around weight, compared with the smaller 103bhp engines on most VW Crafters. Always been mechanically sound, 33mpg even when fully loaded (2,980kg). 163,600 miles, full repair history on all parts replaced since weโve owned the van (5 years). We’ve done over 40,000 miles in her all across Europe and know her well.
– BRAND NEW Turbo (ยฃ1500 to replace)
– New MOT (March 2024) (MOT history is in km as we don’t work in miles)
– Full Oil + Filter Changes every 6,000 miles.
– Cambelt done at 152,000 miles.
– Continental four-season tyres (winter grade for Europe) – done at 151,000 miles.
– New front brake disks + pads, rear brake pads and handbrake.
– New alternator (140A upgraded) + starter battery.
– New front suspension (shock absorbers + ball joints).
She was our full-time home for the past 2 years. We replaced anything that broke or needed fixing, including preventative maintenance, to keep her running smoothly.
Ready to live in.
Welcome to our Van Melanie โ we have owned her since 2019, self converted her and lived in her full time for over 2 years, having driven her all across Europe. We have maintained and taken good care of her these past 5 years but it is time for us to upgrade to a bigger rig, hence the sale.
