VB Air Suspension or Lower mileage

[GRob]

Hi VW CaliClub,

Delighted to say that I recently got the wife’s blessing to get a second-hand Cali Ocean - took 5 years, but I’m there now. I’m looking at two vans - one early 2021 and the other late 2021. Both vans are in great condition, with the early 2021 having 38k miles + VB Air suspension (c. £57k), the other late 2021 at 20k miles with NO VB air suspension (c. £59k). My inclination is to go for the early 2021 with 38k as I really fancy the VB Air suspension. I know this is a somewhat subjective question, but I’m keen to hear from the community if 20k fewer miles is more meaningful than the VB air suspension - assume all else is equal, and I plan to keep the van for 5 to 8 years (probably do 15k miles p/annum).

Thoughts most welcome and thank you in advance.

Some pre-decision reading.

VB air ride failure - what replacement?

Hi , I mounted 3 years ago the VB air suspension, front and rear . Since then the VB dealer replaced 3 times the front suspensions because of a failure . The last time they've been replaced lasted until today when the front left started again to leak air . I decided to take it off and replace...
