Volkswagen Transporter, Crafter or Amarok: which model suits you?

The Volkswagen Transporter is compact and agile, with a payload of up to approximately 1.2 tonnes: ideal for couriers, installers and local delivery in the city. If you need more load space or a higher payload, the Crafter is more interesting; it is available as a panel van and as a box truck up to approximately 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight, and is well suited to removal companies, refrigerated transport and construction firms. The Amarok is Volkswagen's pick-up, with 4x4 options and a towing capacity of up to 3.5 tonnes, suitable for landscapers, agricultural use or off-road work. First determine the required payload and the nature of the work, and only then look at cabin configuration and drivetrain.

What should you pay attention to with a used Volkswagen commercial vehicle?

Always check the maintenance history and the number of services in relation to the mileage; commercial vehicles are often used intensively, so regular maintenance is more important than a low mileage alone. With diesel engines, it is wise to ask about the condition of the particulate filter (DPF), especially if the vehicle has driven a lot in the city. With a DSG automatic, check whether the transmission has recently had an oil and filter change, as this prevents costly repairs. Also check the weld seams and load floor for corrosion or damage, and always ask for a recent APK (MOT/TÜV) report so you know which defects, if any, have been noted.

Buying or financial lease: what suits your business?

Paying cash means no monthly payments and full ownership from day one, which is attractive if you use the vehicle for a long time and with a limited number of kilometres. Financial lease spreads the purchase costs over a term of up to 72 months, keeps your working capital free for business operations and is also accessible for startups and self-employed entrepreneurs, with financing up to 100% of the purchase value. With lease, the VAT on the purchase and the monthly instalments generally remain deductible, which makes it fiscally attractive for VAT-liable entrepreneurs. Weigh up the choice based on your cash flow, expected use and whether you want to replace or keep the vehicle after a few years.

Driving licence and weight class: what are you allowed to drive?

With a regular category B driving licence, you may drive a Volkswagen commercial vehicle up to a maximum permitted gross weight of 3,500 kg, including load and any passengers; this applies to most Transporter versions and many Crafter versions. If you want to drive a heavier Crafter or tow a trailer of more than 750 kg above the combined 3,500 kg, you will need a BE driving licence. When purchasing, always check the maximum permitted gross weight on the registration certificate, as this can vary per version and partly determines your insurance premium and road tax.
