"The owner has always kept this van in top condition. Recent work includes a new clutch, a review of the exhaust system, and regular annual servicing. It is frequently driven during the summer to ensure it remains in excellent running condition. The van was recently inspected and the inspection is valid until August 31, 2026, so it's ready to drive home."

Description

This Caravelle 8 seater was sold new in Sweden and has had a total of six owners, including the original VW dealer. It was initially owned by a furniture company before passing through four other owners around the Jönköping area. The current owner purchased it in 2013. Although it was in good condition at the time, it had some standard rust issues around the wings. The front and rear lower valances were replaced, and the van was fully repainted in 2016.

As a mechanic and VW enthusiast, the current owner has meticulously maintained the van, replacing worn parts as needed. The van has been driven frequently with the family during the summer months and is always stored in a garage over the winter. It runs and drives exceptionally well, with a strong engine, smooth gear shifts, good brakes, and a tight feel on the road.

The total mileage is more likely 216,200 km rather than 162,000 km.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    The van starts immediately and runs with a strong engine. The gearshift operates smoothly and feels tight, complemented by good brakes and very stable road handling—clear signs of a well-maintained vehicle. There are no mechanical issues or remarks. It has good wheels and tires and is inspected until August 31, 2026.

  • Interior condition

    Interior is well-kept and undamaged, showing only normal signs of wear. All the seats are in good condition, with armrests on both the driver’s and passenger’s seats. The seats and carpets would benefit from a shampoo to enhance their appearance. The headliner, carpets, and door cards are in good condition. The dashboard is clean, with working gauges and radio. Additionally, a metal luggage guard is fitted in the rear.

  • Exterior condition

    Bodywork is straight with no damage or signs of rust, and the underbody is very clean, with no rust issues. The paintwork is in great condition, with a nice finish and only very minor marks. The trims and bumpers are in good condition, and the van is equipped with a tow bar.

  • General condition

    This van is ideal for transporting friends and family. It has been very well looked after and is super presentable, with many years of trouble-free motoring ahead.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
