VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER T5 KOMBI SWB
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER T5 KOMBI SWB (2010-16) is a short-wheelbase passenger van: part practical minibus, part spacious people carrier, rather than an ordinary family car. It sits in a popular UK niche for buyers wanting flexible seating and generous room, with a more rugged, van-based feel than conventional MPVs today.
It suits families, groups and businesses carrying people, luggage or equipment. Its adaptable cabin works for errands and longer journeys, while the short-wheelbase body is easier to manage on UK roads than larger vans. Compared with an MPV, it feels more van-like, but rewards owners with space, flexibility and a character.
