2008 Mercedes Viano 3.0 CDI 8 Seats

Description:

For swap or P/X is my 2008 Mercedes Viano Ambiante 3.0 V6 CDI Auto 8 seater XLWB.

Let me start by saying this bus is awesome and I'm only looking at changing it because my daughter goes to secondary school in September so my school run will be going from 15 miles a day to 42 miles a day. As I mainly do short journeys, the average MPG round town is 23mpg. 32mpg can be achieved on a motorway run.

The facts:
* Owned by me since May 2022
* 150k miles with history
* MOT til 5th May 2025
* Just had a full service
* 4 nearly new Goodyear Vector 3 all season tyres on 18" Wolfrace Assassin alloy wheels
* Just had an injector leak repaired (common fault)
* Just had a new power steering cooler fitted
* Pioneer Bluetooth DVD screen with drop down rear screen and Bluetooth hands free. Also a Pioneer Sub under the driver's seat and two extra speakers in the headlining (all professionally fitted). Stereo also wired in to the steering wheel controls
* Brand new Exide battery Autumn 2023
* Driver's airbag recall done
* Front and rear electric windows
* Electric wing mirrors
* Digital climate control with ice cold air conditioning and separate controls for the rear
* Full grey leather interior with heated front seats
* 3.0 V6 Turbo Diesel engine (204bhp) rear wheel drive
* Silky smooth 5Gtronic automatic gearbox
* Limo tint rear windows
* Automatic headlights
* Automatic Wipers
* Cruise control / programmable speed limiter
* Factory fitted front and rear parking sensors
* Rear coil spring conversion with new ALKO shocks to replace the ever-troublesome air suspension. Air suspension has also been programmed out of the ECU so there's no faults on the dashboard. This was done 18 months ago.
* Currently on a private registration plate. Will be put back on original number plate which is SM08 AVU
* Seat configuration is 2-3-3. Both rear rows are quick release and easily removed to create a Van-sized load area. All seats have a 3 point seat belt and several have ISOFIX.

The faults:
* Bodywork marks here and there commensurate with age and mileage. No rust (usual for these!) and no huge dents anywhere.

The car is registered to me and lives with me on the border of Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire (Post Code NG23 7EQ). I am interested in a similar sized vehicle with a smaller engine. Must have minimum 7 seats and a large boot, have working air conditioning and no major faults.
