Had the van since December. Not noticed this before but it could have been there already as we have just lowered the island bed for the 1st time. It's at the far end of the van. Really hoping it's not water ingress!

Yes, thank you
Could be a solvent reaction with the plastic, not spilt nail varnish remover or overdone the pledge have you, if you examine it close to and there are signs of crazing then solvents may be your answer, sloppy fitting at the factory, sniff and see if there is a disti

Nothing has been spilled or sprayed we have only used the van a few times.

It could be in the construction and judicious use of sealants etc without sounding flippant get a magnifying glass and check for crazing if it shows up then its a solvent reaction, if no crazing then other than the ribena thread unless I can see close up (I am about 390 miles away from you) I can cast no light on the problem

My money is on this thought.
Dealership found a fault in that area and repaired it. Or put some sort of paint or sealant on there, causing the stain.
But I could be wrong as I only picked 2winners at Cheltenham this week

Pretty sure that's condensation, we had the same and same discolouration.
