Especificaciones del vehículo
Análisis del vehículo
This 2008 Volkswagen Caravelle 2.5 TDI represents a heavily utilized yet practically configured 9-seater transport solution originating from the Finnish market. Despite showing an elevated odometer reading of 378,000 km, the vehicle benefits from a recent inspection pass valid well into late 2027, along with dual sets of tires and comprehensive comfort equipment including auxiliary heating and dual-zone ventilation. With current bidding sitting at a very accessible €1,905 against a historical cohort average of €3,510, the lot presents an exceptional margin for prospective buyers. The 96 kW 2.5-liter diesel engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission is structurally robust, though high-mileage units demand careful verification of past servicing records regarding injectors, the dual-mass flywheel, and potential turbo wear. For commercial operators, shuttle services, or large families needing maximum passenger capacity on a tight budget, this Caravelle offers high utility. While cosmetic wear and age-related mechanical fatigue are expected at this mileage bracket, the combination of a low entry price and a freshly secured technical inspection makes it a compelling acquisition target in the current auction cycle.
