Mercedes Vario 813D
REDUCED: £39,995 ONO
Now priced under £40,000 for a prompt sale, with a genuine reason for sale (house purchase) — this is one of the finest Vario campers available in the UK and represents outstanding value compared to others on the market.
This is a rare opportunity to own a fully off-grid, professionally converted 2011 Mercedes Vario 813D.
Built by Vanpuravida to an exceptional standard, it combines Mercedes’ legendary reliability with premium craftsmanship and true off-grid capability.
The base vehicle, a robust 4.2L Vario, is renowned for its million-mile engine and currently has only 177k miles on the clock. It has benefitted from major recent maintenance including new brake lines, discs, pads and calipers, plus a clean MOT valid until October 2025. It starts first time, drives beautifully, and is ready for European or UK adventures.
Registered as a PHGV, so only £170 tax per year.
Over £10,000 has been invested since conversion, including a custom towbar and a full bodywork restoration with Land Rover Atlantic Green respray. The exterior presents very well, with only minor marks consistent with travel/motorway use.
Inside, the layout has been designed for long-term living:
– Fully equipped kitchen
– Ample storage
– Fixed double bed + single bed
– Toilet and shower
– 640ah lithium leisure batteries
This is not a typical DIY conversion — it’s a rare, high-quality build, clean, robust, and ready to go.
