The Appeal
The VW T5 is a sought-after campervan platform, offering a well-judged balance of everyday usability and weekend adventure capability.
This 2011 example is presented in good condition for its age and is reportedly ready for its next owner to enjoy. With its comfortable camping interior setup and newly fitted leisure battery, it's prepared for both short trips and longer adventures. The private registration shown in the photographs is included.
The vendor says:
"It drives really smoothly and feels solid and reliable on the road. The engine runs beautifully and pulls well, and it’s comfortable for both short trips and long journeys. Easy to handle, with a great driving position and visibility — it’s a lovely, relaxed drive whether you’re heading to the coast or into the countryside. What I’ve loved most is the freedom it gives — being able to just pack up and go wherever I feel drawn. It’s cosy and practical, with everything you need for a weekend away or a longer adventure. I’ve had some amazing trips in it — it always feels like home on wheels."
