Another 500,000miles to go, to be considered a reliable van by maltese standard.

How reliable has it been to get to that mileage, eg, breakdowns etc, whats original and whats been replaced excluding tyres brakes etc, do you think it will tempt the mk5ers to go mk7 (probably not :lol: ) If mine gets to 50000 I'll be happy. :)
If tradesmen are meant to be experts,why do they get sent back with a snagging list.
