Shopping for a pre-owned 2016 Coachman Pastiche 520/4 motorhome
The 2016 Coachman Pastiche 520/4, a beloved caravan model for couples, is making a comeback on the secondhand market. With its spacious interior and impressive specifications, it remains an attractive choice for many.
Priced at £15,249, dealers are offering the 520/4 for as low as £14,495 and as high as £16,995. This four-berth tourer boasts a MiRO of 1316kg, a payload of 149kg, an MTPLM of 1465kg, an internal length of 5.29m, and a width of 2.26m.
The large lounge and side kitchen, with a single dinette opposite, provide ample living space. The 2016 Pastiche also comes equipped with a good spec, including Alde heating, an alarm, ATC, a gas barbecue point, an exterior mains socket, a Vision TV aerial, a radio, an 800W microwave, a 113-litre Thetford fridge, and a dual-fuel hob and full oven.
Shopping around for a 2016 Coachman Pastiche is recommended, but consider the distance from the dealer to avoid long trips for warranty work. It's essential to inspect the caravan thoroughly before purchasing, as potential issues such as fridge circuit boards, 12V electrics, water ingress on the side wall, wallboard tape coming away, and damage to the kitchen sink have been reported.
For those seeking an alternative four-berth tourer, the 2016 Bailey Pegasus Modena is another option. The 2018 Coachman Pastiche 460/2, a more recent Pastiche model, might also work well for couples.
The Pastiche range has a rich history, offering a good choice of caravan layouts over the years. The 520/4 model, launched in 2000 and remaining part of the line-up until 2019, was particularly popular. The successor to the 520/4 was the Coachman Pastiche 520/5, which took over in 2019.

The 2016 Pastiche's end-washroom four-berth layout is great news for those planning on buying a secondhand caravan. However, it's crucial to remember that, like any secondhand purchase, thorough inspection is key.
As the saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure. In the case of the 2016 Coachman Pastiche 520/4, it might just be the perfect treasure for your next caravanning adventure.
