Who's seen the highest number of previous owners on a V5??
Discussion
I've certainly seen VW campers for sale that have been in the double figures. Quite common on them as a lot of people keep them for a couple of years and sell on. There's also a community of Australians and New Zealanders who buy them for the European tour of about 6 months to a year before selling on to the next couple; some of those must be well into the 20s and 30s by now.
Not necessarily bad on the campers as people tend to carry out their refurbishments either on buying them or getting ready to sell.

Lots of owners on the v5 is common on sports cars, 911's and the like, as people buy them to try them out,then realise they they are not very practical,so sell them on a year later.I bought my '03 Z4 at 5 years old and was the 4th owner,but it only has 31k on the clock.1st owner was BMW(GB)for 6 mnths, second owner had it 18 months, 3rd for 30 months ( it was his weekend toy).I've had it 3.5 years and is also a weekend toy,but I shall be keeping it for a while yet.I was a bit concerned at being the 4th owner in 5 years, but by now it has evened itself out.The car has been faultless over the 26k I have put on it since purchase,so I was right to not let the number of owners put me off.
When I used to deal cars a bit, I had an old, old shape 320i that had had getting on for thirty owners (28) in twenty years! Yes it had nasty aftermarket wheels and spoilers as well. It was also on about 60 Bensons a day and was slightly incontinent on most fluids.
It was well tired - poor old thing! Still, it was sent on to owner 29 without too much effort.
