Questions & Answers
Buyer Neil is interested and asked for the annual road tax cost and rough MPG for the 1997 VW Transporter SWB.
It's currently SORN as the owner hasn't been using it. The tax reminder shows around £360 for the year. Real-world fuel economy is roughly 30–35 mpg.
Buyer Alan is interested in the 1997 VW Transporter SWB and asked whether the cambelt has been done.
The owner isn't able to confirm whether the cambelt has been changed — they don't have any paperwork for it, as the previous owner didn't pass on the full service history when they bought it.

Seller's ID verified by Motorhome PigA quick honest note
Because you're buying directly from the owner, the condition of the motorhome is yours to judge on the day - and that's a good thing (it's why there's no dealer markup). We verify ownership and run an HPI check; the motorhome's condition is the one thing best judged in person. We'll give you a checklist so you can view like a pro and satisfy yourself everything's spot-on before you buy.
Our checks cover the seller and the registers, not the vehicle itself, and they rely on data supplied to us by third parties, so we can't accept responsibility for errors or omissions in it. However thorough our checks are, please arrange your own independent inspection and your own history check before you commit to buying.
