Its only 5 and half days drive by my calculations

Its about a month, since most of the time we will be doing 30mph due to Kazakhstan and Mongolia not having actual roads - theyre pot-hole ridden dirt tracks!

However this is the main counter argument of just leaving it be and hoping for the best... I think a fair few teams do just buy their car and go/hope so maybe we could do the same...

We loved it so much, we have just purchased a Mk7 LWB high roof Transit to do some staycationing!

Nah we are driving to Mongolia near China! :D
Not quite non stop, its a charity rally and the van gets donated to the charity once in Mongolia. But since its such an adventure we want to take our time over it and enjoy what we see (especially once we are out of Europe) so we are looking to average 8 hours a day throughout the entire trip.
