Question 1

Which VW Transporter generation is the best used buy?

Accepted Answer

The T6.1, from 2019, has the most modern cabin and safety equipment, while a T6 from 2015 offers much of it for less. A late T5 with the 2.0 TDI common-rail engine is the budget choice, but it is not Euro 6.

Question 2

Is a used VW Transporter ULEZ compliant?

Accepted Answer

A T6 or T6.1 diesel that meets Euro 6 is compliant, while T5 diesels predate Euro 6 and pay London's daily charge. Check the exact van with TfL's vehicle checker using its registration.

Question 3

Do you pay VAT on a used VW Transporter from a dealer?

Accepted Answer

Often yes: vans are commonly sold with 20% VAT on the full price rather than under the margin scheme. Check whether the advertised price includes VAT, which a VAT-registered business can reclaim.

Question 4

What should I check on a used VW Transporter?

Accepted Answer

The clutch and dual-mass flywheel on a manual, the gearbox service record on a DSG, and rust or damage from load work. On a campervan conversion, check whether the V5C shows the body type as a motor caravan.

Question 5

Which versions does the new VW Transporter Shuttle come in?

Accepted Answer

The new Transporter Shuttle has a 2.0 TDI diesel with 110, 150 or 170 PS, a 2.5 eHybrid plug-in with 232 PS, or electric power with a 70 kWh battery and 136, 218 or 286 PS. Trims are Life and Style, in short or long wheelbase.
