Our Verdict
This 2013 Volkswagen Transporter present
When viewing the van, confirm the current tyre condition and obtain receipts for any recent tyre replacements. Given the repeated tyre‑wear advisories across three years, negotiate a price reduction to cover the cost of fitting a new set of tyres, especially for the off‑side rear which showed cracking. Request any available service records to verify regular oil changes and diesel filter maintenance, as these are not captured by MOT data but are important for a diesel engine's longevity.
Check the vehicle's MOT certificates for the exact dates and mileage at each test to ensure the mileage progression is consistent and there are no unexplained jumps. Verify that the vehicle has a valid MOT certificate at the time of purchase and that any outstanding MOT advisories have been rectified. Be aware that the lack of model‑wide aggregate reliability data means you should rely on the individual vehicle's history and a thorough mechanical inspection.
Consider the intended use: if the van will carry heavy loads or travel long distances, a full mechanical inspection by a qualified diesel specialist is advisable to uncover any hidden wear on the transmission, clutch, or turbocharger that MOT does not test.
The 2.0‑litre diesel engine typically achieves around 45 mpg (combined), giving an annual fuel cost of roughly £600‑£800 based on average UK diesel prices and 8,000‑10,000 miles per year. For a 2013 diesel van, the annual road tax is likely in the £150‑£200 band, depending on the exact CO2 emissions figure.
Insurance groups for this model usually sit between 13 and 15, translating to an annual premium of approximately £500‑£700 for a standard driver. Routine maintenance for a diesel Transporter—oil changes, filter replacements, and occasional brake servicing—averages £200‑£300 per year. Adding fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance together gives an estimated annual running cost of £1,450‑£2,000.
Pay particular attention to the tyre condition. The MOT records list near‑side front and rear tyres as "worn close to legal limit" in three consecutive years and an off‑side rear tyre with "slightly damaged/cracking" in the latest test. Measure tread depth and look for sidewall cracks; replacement is likely required soon.
Inspect the suspension and steering components for any signs of wear, especially since tyre wear can be exacerbated by misalignment or worn bushings. Check for uneven tyre wear patterns that might indicate underlying alignment issues. A professional wheel alignment and suspension check are recommended before committing to purchase.
Although the MOT history shows no brake or emissions failures, a visual inspection of brake pads, discs, and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is prudent. Look for excessive rust, fluid leaks, or unusual exhaust smoke, and consider a diagnostic scan to verify that the engine management system is free of stored fault codes.
The Transporter has logged 65,028 miles over 13 years, well below the UK average for its age, indicating relatively light use. All five MOT tests have been passed, with the only recorded issues relating to tyre tread depth and minor cracking on the off‑side rear tyre. No engine, brakes or emissions failures appear in the history, suggesting the core mechanical components have remained within legal standards. The vehicle's low mileage and recent MOT pass make it an attractive option for commercial or private use, provided tyre condition is addressed.
There is no aggregate reliability data published for the 2013 Volkswagen Transporter, so assessment must rely on this vehicle's individual MOT record and a thorough inspection.
