2018 vw t6 204bhp black smoke from exhaust.

Hi. My 2018 vw transporter dsg 204 bhp has started blowing black smoke from the exhaust and the exhaust is full of black soot. There's no fault codes, the van pulls and drives as it should. The smoke goes away on high revs. Does anyone have any idea what can cause this ? The van is on 150k miles but has an extensive service history. Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if this is normal or related but I've also noticed this part in the photo is leaking some sort of liquid.

The part in the picture is the drain for the AC condensation, unrelated to your smoke issue.
