Beware if Buying this Bongo from Fishponds Bristol

Post by cmm303 » Wed Jun 07, 2017 1:11 pm

This warning is courtesy Trevor George on Facebook who has spotted a questionable sale of a Bongo from Fishponds, Bristol
Advert in question: https://www.gumtree.com/p/campervans-mo ... 1246114655

W467 TTF
Previous MOTs show rusty history
Appears to have been off the road since Oct 2015
Recorded mileage not aligning with advertised
Fishponds is a location associated with previous dodgy Bongo seller

So if you are interested in this Bongo, best be wary, do plenty of paperwork checks, take a savvy mechanic and have a long test drive.

First class =D>
I saw the warning in the Mazda Bongo . . Bristol area owners FB group. Could be worth asking for info there as well if you're an FB user.
