Our Verdict
The 2018 Volkswagen Transporter presents a reasonable proposition for buyers prioritising recent reliability, but past tyre and fog lamp issues warrant closer inspection.
Focus on tyre condition, particularly nearside front and rear tyres which showed damage in 2023. Check fog lamp integrity and ensure repairs were properly addressed. Request full service history to verify maintenance consistency. Negotiate based on the vehicle's above-average mileage and recurring minor issues. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from older repairs.
Diesel fuel economy averages 40-45 mpg for this engine variant, placing it in a mid-tier tax band. Insurance groups for commercial vans typically range from 10-15, with premiums influenced by the driver's profile. Routine maintenance costs £150-£250 every 15,000 miles for oil changes and filter replacements. Estimated annual running costs: £1,200-£1,500 including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance.
Inspect tyres for cracks or damage, especially on the nearside front and rear. Check fog lamps for secure mounting and functionality. Examine suspension components for wear given the vehicle's mileage. Verify engine oil quality and look for signs of coolant leaks. Review service records to confirm timely maintenance of the 1.968cc diesel engine.
