mileage

I would prefer to buy from a recommended dealer, but if I went privately, my main concern would be how to verify the mileage. I gather that there are ways of clocking these vehicles, even with all the digital safeguards that apparently should prevent it. Is there any way to check to see if the...

Hi everyone. I’m entering the market for a used Camper and have seen some in my price range. They are high milage vans, one is 150k miles but in pristine condition and has everything I need from a camper. Should the mileage be my main concern or should I be buying in general condition? It’s a...

Might treat it to a full tank of Ultimate Diesel. It's been a great workhorse and, as someone said on here before, it's a bit like triggers broom, but its still in daily use and has never failed an MOT. (risk of temping fate there) Over the years its had New Turbo New EGR Valve and Cooler New...

My 2017 T30 has just turned 100k miles. It's been fitted with H&R Coilovers and Antirollbars since new, after the front lower arm bushes failed at 30k, (now Powerflex) they destroyed the front dampers and I've also had a couple of pairs of rear springs at 40k and 80k but my van does usually...

If a 9 seater 2018 shuttle only had 2 years of service history, one being this year and the other a few years ago. How much would you say in your opinion would that reduce the asking price by if the asking price were 30k. Bearing in mind the 30k is about the going rate with the mileage and spec...

Hello again.. Bit of knowledge that surely can't offend any of my fan club. Just genuine help. And this may also have been discussed....and yes I know some of you are experts already.... But the forum is for newbies also. I had a customer email me last week about a van he bought with 63k on...

Hi I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or guidance on buying a van with high mileage. I'm looking to get my first T6. Have seen a really nice example that has 153k on the clock but has a FSH, had a new gearbox and clutch fitted 2 years ago and new cambelt and water pump last year...

Hi all, I picked up my 2019 T6 204 DSG last week and ordered a Carista OBD which arrived yesterday. Out of interest, I've been going through all the menus and looking at the information and noticed a huge discrepancy between the values for Instruments/engine mileage (both exactly where I...

HI, Just got an OBD11 tool to do a DSG reset and checked the transmission millage and it's showing really high, so I'm wondering if someone has done an odometer re-set or something on it. dash shows 89,000km van is 2017 transmission milage shows 409,755km driving strategy transmission...

Evening I hope I can get a little advice from members ?? I am looking at buying a 2017 T6 with new conversion. Paid deposit but as we all know if it’s too good to be true generally is. Mileage states 38500 but had a new clutch at 34000 and new cam belt and pump apparently due to an oil leak It...

Hi all I am looking again at buying a 6.1 kombi from somewhere like Leighton vans but just thinking would it be suitable for me. I travel all over the south east mainly on motorways as a sales rep and do about 25k miles per year. I currently lease a car personally but would buy the van through...

Hi everyone I just found a 2017 T6 highline it’s at a vw main dealer Apparently the van was originally used in the building industry but there is no more info on that It has full service history But the mileage is only 12k does this sound right or am I overthinking this Thanks in advance

Hi guys Im after some advice please Just upgraded my t5.1 highline to a 67plate t6 highline Both have leather steering wheels and gear knobs My t5.1 had 60k no wear visible , But the new t6 clearly has what looks like wear on both the wheel and gear knob but only 27k on the clock?? Should I...

Hello. I had hoped to have got a van by now but I keep dithering and convincing myself that I need a different option. The main hurdle is whether to get an older van with lower miles or a newer van with higher miles. My budget is 16-20k., so it seems to boil down to a 14/15 EU5 with 50k...

A German guy moved to Sweden and brought his car with him. Its a T6 Multivan with only 15000km on the odometer. Seems very legit but is there any way to verify the milage somehow. The car has not been serviced yet so no service history. Since the car is imported to Sweden and got a new...

I thought i'd give my thoughts after 4 years of ownership and 95,000 miles covered, they may or may not be relevant to anyone. Looking back over old posts, i didn't realise the discontent i had for that van at times, so it would be a fair reflection to give an overall picture of my ownership...

A subjective question really but I am torn between 3 Kombis: '19 Plate, 15 miles Highline DSG, fairly basic (reverse camera and folding mirrors) '17 Plate, 30k miles Highline DSG, Electric twin sliders but otherwise fairly basic About £3k difference with the '19 plate being the dearer of the...

Hi Guys, I'm looking to buy a June 2017 204 DSG Shuttle but it has 83,000 on the clock? Initially I dismissed this van due to the mileage but I'm now thinking it may not be so bad? Any thoughts on this and other things I should be looking out for? Should it of had a cambelt change and how often...

Got my T6 150 Kombi back in September 16. Have now just passed 36,000 miles in it. What mileage are you all on now? Anyone passed 50k yet?

I'm wondering whether I might have the highest mileage T6 on the forum. Just being nosy really - who fancies posting their mileage and saying a bit about what a typical week of driving looks like? I'll show you mine if you show me your first :D
