What to Look For When Buying Used
The Transporter is generally reliable but has known areas for concern:
- DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): Particularly on vans doing short, stop-start journeys. Look for DPF warning lights, reduced power, or recent DPF replacement history. Regular motorway runs help DPF regeneration.
- Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF): Check for clunking noises on start-up/shutdown or vibrations at low revs. Often found with clutch issues.
- Timing Belt/Chain:
- T5 1.9 TDI & 2.0 TDI: Belt-driven. Replacement interval typically 60,000-80,000 miles or 4-5 years. Crucial service item.
- T5 2.5 TDI: Gear-driven, no belt.
- T6/T6.1 2.0 TDI: Belt-driven. Intervals extended to 130,000 miles or 5 years, but always check service history.
- Rust Spots: Common areas include wheel arches, sills, and around the bottom of side and rear doors. Check under the bonnet lip and around indicators.
- Water Pump: Known to fail on some 2.0 TDI engines, often replaced with timing belt.
- Electrics: Test all windows, central locking, and infotainment. Check for aftermarket modifications that might cause issues.
Running Costs for Businesses
- Insurance (Example T6 2.0 TDI 102PS): Typically in insurance group 30-40e. Premiums can range from £400-£800+ annually for business use, depending on driver history, location, and excess.
- Fuel Economy (Combined MPG):
- T5 1.9 TDI: 35-40 MPG
- T5 2.0 TDI: 38-45 MPG
- T6 2.0 TDI (102-150PS): 40-50 MPG (WLTP figures may vary)
- Servicing: VW offers fixed-priced servicing. A major service can be £300-£500+ at a main dealer, less at independent specialists. Flexible servicing also available based on driving style.
- ULEZ/CAZ Compliance: All Euro 6 Transporters (generally from late 2015 onwards) are ULEZ/CAZ compliant. Older Euro 5 models are not and will incur daily charges in applicable zones.
Is the Volkswagen Transporter Right For Your Business?
The Transporter remains an excellent choice for a wide range of businesses seeking a quality, dependable medium-sized van. It particularly suits:
- Tradespeople: Plumbers, electricians, carpenters requiring a balance of payload, reliability, and manoeuvrability.
- Delivery/Courier Services: For local and regional routes where driver comfort and efficiency are key.
- Florists/Caterers: Its professional image and adaptable load space are a benefit.
Alternatives to consider: Ford Transit Custom (often cheaper, excellent to drive), Vauxhall Vivaro (often good value, shared platform with Stellantis vans), Mercedes-Benz Vito (premium feel, but potentially higher running costs).
