Detailed Information
Vehicle Description

Reduced price is an absolute steal! Reason for sale – I have moved back into bricks and mortar for many personal reasons / I have a new job where I will be community based, so I need a smaller vehicle asap!

Meet Tanya – who I will be sad to see go as I have had many adventures in and also lived in full time for several months!

She has been perfect for me as she has a full off grid set up for all UK weather – I have happily stayed in her in winter! Plus there is enough height and length for me – but she still is small enough to fit in a single carparking bay!
She starts every time, is a very smooth / easy drive with power steering and a reversing camera, is quick to accelerate and easily gets to 70mph on the motorway.

There is no rust / welding needed for MOT. I have had a full service twice and she has also had a new clutch. I have needed to ensure she is running well in the last 18 months as she has been my main living residence!

This is reflected in her current 10 months MOT – until 07/12/2025 with only 3 advisories. Both tyre advisories have been replaced and I have been advised the ‘Offside rear brake corroded, covered in grease or other material’ is a common advisory & does not need attention / will continue to be an advisory for MOTs to come. No other advisories πŸ™‚

2.2 Diesel, 5 gears.
2 x keys.
Radio/CD player with decent sound and aux option to listen to podcasts on long drives!

Conversion Description

She is fully converted for off-grid living with full power / solar set up and with space to live and work. I have never had any need to charge, however if you are staying somewhere with no sun or your power outage is especially high, there is the option to charge too so you won’t be caught short.

There is a pull out utility desk/dining table. The sink and kitchen area allow for food prep with a fold-up countertop for extra space.
There is plenty of storage in the main living area and a large garage-style storage accessed from the back.
As you can see I have painted her rainbow colour for my taste! I have left this as is, so you can then paint / decorate the way you like / to your taste!
