HIGH MILEAGE VW T5 SHUTTLE at a UK CAR AUCTION - Valley Autos Birmingham

A Stressful Week and a Beautiful Day

Have you ever had such a stressful week that even the idea of organizing a wet T-shirt competition seems farfetched? That's how my week has been. Fortunately, I'm greeted by a beautiful day today. However, after spending the last three days outdoors, I’ve got a suntan reminiscent of a two-week Jamaican holiday. But life's back to the grind with some surprising updates.

Office Transformation

While I’ve been outside roasting under the sun, Sarah—our diligent behind-the-scenes hero—has transformed our office space. She’s tidied up my perpetually messy drink station, reorganized my cluttered desk, and even polished the carpet with our Vax Spot Wash cleaner. It’s like stepping into a brand new workspace. My desk is unrecognizable in its neat state, and Sarah's corner looks inviting enough to be featured in a catalog. Kudos to her!

Vehicle Preps and Customer Collections

Back on our pitch, two of our recently sold vehicles are awaiting their new owners. While they’re scheduled for collection tomorrow, they’ve already received a brief pre-collection clean-up. Tomorrow morning, I'll give them an extra hand polish and tire blackening to ensure they gleam. Sarah is chasing up one of our clients to confirm the collection timing for tomorrow. She’s also busy eyeballing the auction list to scout any good vehicles under the listed 36 lots, including some intriguing high-mileage listings.

Auction Finds: The VW T5 Transporter

Speaking of auctions, there’s a Volkswagen Transporter with 303,000 miles up for grabs. It's a curious piece, sold by the order of the High Court, making it an intriguing yet risky prospect. Greg seems skeptical but humorously notes that the vehicle is “just run in.” We delve into the vehicle score using a free check to get its Car History and MOT history, facing the general high-mileage issues: worn tires, minor oil leaks, and uncertain V5 documentation.

Vehicle Walkaround

As we take a walk through the auction floor, Greg keeps the narrative light-hearted but detail-rich. From Timothy's antics with the hosepipe to the guessing game of the seats in the VW Transporter ("six seats or eight?"), we keep exploring. Our enthusiasm levels shift as the reality of the auction sets in with vehicles seen up close—scratched and battered—but occasionally a hidden gem like an S2 does catch Sarah’s eye.

Understanding the Value and Condition

Greg and Sarah debate the value, condition, and potential risks associated with some auction vehicles. The 303,000-mile Transporter, for instance, evokes a mixed reaction, given its high mileage and uncertain auction conditions like a lack of keys and the state of the vehicle’s MOT. Adding to this, other quirky finds such as the Diesel Edition of a 500X Fiat and a well-maintained A5, similarly keep us on our toes deciding what's worth bidding on.

The Role of Vehicle Score

Understanding a vehicle's background and condition can be immensely facilitated by using tools like Vehicle Score. By simply entering the vehicle details, you get insights into its history, MOT status, and other vital aspects. Plus, they often have attractive deals like 20% off using specific codes.

The Grand Finale

As the auction day wraps, the selling and picking up of vehicles continue. The highlight is Jay and his daughter taking home the gray Fiat 500, an unsuspecting yet delightful surprise for her—albeit revealed earlier than intended. With all the hustle and cheerful discussions, it's been quite an eventful day at Valley Autos.
