The Mazda Bongo Centre Chester

Post by MrHat » Mon Jun 01, 2026 5:55 pm

Hi all, new here :)
I'm looking at scaling down from a Motorhome to a small camper and I'm thinking about a Bongo.
I've found this place in the internet and I'm wondering if any of you have any personal experience of the company?
Any comments more than welcome!

Welcome aboard!
Not one I have noticed before, but well out of my geographical area!
What ever is said or advertised be very aware that rust is a MAJOR problem unless the vehicles can be proven to have been suitably protected with in days (ok maybe a week or two) of entry to the country, hence try to get the youngest you can find, on import. The body shells are NOT protected and as soon as salt sees the steel it will enjoy a rapid lunch!
But without question they make ideal vehicles for 1 or 2 people especially when fitted with EHU, Solar and gas supplies.
Good luck in the search!

A long way from us, too, but welcome aboard. :)
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.
