Hi,any help appreciated.
We have a chance of an 2004 with 128,500miles on the clock for £16,500.
It would be our first campervan.
Should we grab it or stay clear?
128,500 miles!! That's 5 times round the world. It's the sort of mileage that would do in a car - about 8k - 9k a year. A reasonable mileage for a camper would be half that. Looking at Autotrader, there are a number of similar examples with a fraction of that mileage.
When we were looking for a new van, we had a look at a 'Symbol' and was very disappointed. Autosleeper used to have a very good reputation, but the one we looked at had obviously been leaking round the seam there the high top attaches. I have heard of other cases with similar water ingress.
Personally, I would walk away from that one, but I might well look at other newer/ lower mileage examples.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.
Our 1993 Autosleeper (Clubman) hadn’t done nearly much that when we PX’d it in 2018. 25 years old, £6K.
To be fair, plastic & metal & rubber etc age at x rate per annum so an old low mileage MH can have different problems to a newer higher mileage MH. Balance issues with the MH itself against problems with the vehicle, floorpan, engine etc. But I agree with others, that’s too high mileage. There’ll be others, let that one go.
