Van Specifications
Description
Here we have a 5 seat factory Kombi van with Business pack finished in Candy White. Only 11.800 miles With Full VW Main Dealer Service History. Tailgate, two single front captains chairs, business pack inc air conditioning, leather multi function steering wheel & cruise control, app connect/car play, parking sensors etc I am semi-retired after 44 years selling cars and vans, specialising in VAG group vehicles.
I personally select every vehicle and keep my stock small, concentrating on well-presented cars that I would be happy to own myself. All vehicles are HPI clear and come with a warranty, with servicing and MOT carried out where necessary. I price my cars very competitively - in most cases among the cheapest available nationally and, at worst, within 100 miles of Bournemouth.
Because my cars are already priced very keenly, I do not offer discounts, part exchange or finance.
About the VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER
For decades, the Volkswagen Transporter has been the workhorse of choice for countless UK businesses.

This guide will help you navigate the used market, highlighting what to look for and expect when investing in a Transporter.

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).
