Van Specifications
Description
The iconic Volkswagen Transporter T6.1, finished in sought-after Pure Grey and presented in excellent condition. This is exactly the kind of Transporter buyers look for: the right colour, low mileage, air conditioning, Business specification and documented Volkswagen main-dealer servicing. Powered by the dependable 2.0 litre TDI 110PS diesel engine, this T28 short-wheelbase panel van has covered just 36,442 miles.
Air conditioning is an especially important feature on a Transporter, while rear parking sensors make everyday manoeuvring easier. The van has received two Volkswagen main-dealer services, both completed by VW Commercial at JCT600 York. Its most recent visit was in July 2026, when more than £1,290 of servicing and maintenance was completed.
This included an oil and inspection service, new front and rear brakes, replacement pollen filter, brake-fluid change and new wipers. The original invoices are available to view. Its MOT runs until June 2027.
The only recorded advisory concerned the rear brake pads, which have since been replaced as part of the documented Volkswagen maintenance work. Inside, the practical three-seat cab offers air conditioning, touchscreen infotainment, a multifunction steering wheel and useful storage throughout. The Business specification makes it a comfortable van for everyday work and longer journeys.
The short-wheelbase body is easy to manoeuvre while retaining a generous and highly usable rear load area. Access is provided through the sliding side loading door and twin rear loading doors, while the ply-lined load compartment and full-height steel bulkhead offer useful protection for tools, equipment and cargo. Presented in clean, standard form, this Pure Grey T6.1 also offers excellent potential for its next owner.
It could remain a smart professional work van or provide an ideal starting point for a camper, day-van or individual styling conversion. First registered in July 2023, this is a great-condition, low-mileage example of one of the most desirable and versatile commercial vehicles on the market.

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).
