With 474,000 km, this is understandably not a low-kilometre vehicle. It has had a good amount of mechanical work carried out, however as with any 29-year-old, high-kilometre vehicle, further age- or mileage-related maintenance may be required.
Overall, a great-looking and distinctive Surf with the desirable intercooled 3.0 turbo-diesel, automatic transmission, working 4WD, upgraded suspension, AT tyres and unique facelift Limited interior. This Surf runs and drives well considering the kilometres and is ready for summer adventures.
