We’ve covered 10,000 miles in the last year and our Bongo has been used for all sorts..
An unconverted 8-seater pop-top, we’ve used it as routine transport, a people carrier locally and to music gigs elsewhere, for house moves, tip runs, even as motorcycle transportation, plus trips to Cornwall, the Isle of Man and Glastonbury… we been pulling out and refitting the seats as required.
During that time it’s required little, I’ve stripped/cleaned the brakes front and back and fitted new rear pads, had to bleed the coolant once having allowed it to run low, replaced the front tyres and both front ABS sensors.
It’s proven to be a fantastic’Swiss Army Knife’ of a vehicle, it’s been fab.

There aren't many vans that are as versatile.
