Mazda Bongo
This is a lovely well restored rear kitchen, white/grey bongo. We have had this vehicle since October 2020 and enjoyed some fantastic experiences in it.
This is not your normal rusty bongo. Highly equipped with onboard water and gas.
8 months remaining on the MOT
2.5 turbo diesel
Rear Wheel Drive
Automatic gearbox
Must be seen to be appreciated
It has 133000 miles on the odometer and when we bought it had 100000 miles. I have since then changed the oil and filter every 3000 miles.
In June 2021 the Bongo had a new head and gaskets by Bongo master in Leicester.
The pop top tent/canvas has been replaced by proud to pop in Newcastle and they also sprayed the pop top fibre glass.
The camper has had a very very good underseal. It is very solid underneath. I also undersealed in 2021 and have treated with Lanoguard twice a year. There is no underbody rust or previous welding.
We have had the rear outer arches (inners were solid) replaced and the bottom half sprayed by the Bongo body shop in Barnsley.
All coolant pipes (including metal front to back pipes) have been replaced, it runs beautifully.

This vehicle is in superb condition mechanically and bodywork for its age. With the solar, the underslung lpg tank making gas way way cheaper than buying bottles and the water tank. This camper can easily sustain off grid camping for days or even weeks if you have some sunlight. Allowing you to visit the more remote and scenic campsites and save some money not having to pay for hook-up and camp in a more sustainable way.
MOT until October, would gladly put another 12 months on, upon receipt of a deposit.
