Why Volkswagen Transporters end up off the road
- 2.5 TDI PD injector loom and camshaft wear on the T5
- 2.0 BiTDI turbo and oil pump failures
- DSG mechatronic faults
- Break-in and ignition damage, common on this model
- DPF and EGR blockage on urban vans
Parts that still hold value
- Complete front ends and doors
- Engines and DSG boxes
- Camper conversions, pop-tops and interiors
- Alloy wheels and Sportline trim
- Seats and captain's chairs
What moves the offer up or down
- Camper and day-van conversions are valued separately from the base van
- Theft or ignition damage does not write a T5 or T6 off in value terms
- Kombi and Caravelle interiors add worthwhile value
Common questions
- Do you buy VW camper conversions that no longer run?
- Yes, and we value the conversion separately. Send photos of the interior when you get your offer.
- Is a broken-into T5 still worth selling to you?
- Yes. Ignition and door damage is a common reason people sell, and the rest of the van keeps its value.
