Thinking about buying a used VW T5?

Are you interested in getting a used multi-purpose car? Then the VW T5 is a popular choice. AutoUncle features 132 avalable cars to choose from sourced from various dealership websites and online marketplaces.

What should I pay for a used VW T5?

Currently, the prices for a pre-owned VW T5 start at £2,995 and go up to £24,995.

The used car price of an VW T5 is determined by a number of factors, the most important of which are the year of manufacturing, engine size and performance, fuel consumption, how much the car's odometer reads along with the trim level of the car.

For instance, a car that is newer and has fewer miles on the clock will typically command a higher price. In the same vein, models at the higher end, replete with luxurious features or more robust engines, generally come with a more substantial price tag than an earlier version with less equipment and higher mileage.

Which trim levels can I choose for the VW T5?

While evaluating the cost of a pre-owned VW T5, it's crucial to compare vehicles with identical engines and equipment. If you don't, you might draw an inaccurate conclusion about which car to acquire.

Which fuel types does the VW T5 come with?

The most popular fuel type for the VW T5 is diesel.

Price difference between the most popular fuel options for VW T5:

  • VW T5 diesel: 131 cars currently available with an average price of £12,458
  • VW T5 petrol: 1 car currently available with an average price of £31,995

It's essential to take into account your driving habits when determining the right fuel type. What's the average distance you drive weekly? Do you have a preference for shorter trips, or do you usually drive long distances?

Electric cars, plug-in hybrids and petrol are great for short distances. For long daily driving, electric cars are a strong choice if you can charge. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. For very long daily driving without charging options, a diesel car can still be relevant. Take into account that several countries restrict high-emission diesel engines from their city zones.
