If you see an advisory for rusty suspension mounts on a VW T4, then you need to budget around £400-£500 for the rework. The first place to look when viewing any T4 is at the history of advisories to see if the repair has already been carried out or if it is noted within the advisory section. You normally get a couple of years warning on this by looking back at the MOT advisories – if they have been completed thoroughly. If the structure of the metal within a certain radius of the mounts is showing significant decay then you will not pass the MOT. It is becoming more and more common to see MOT failures and advisories given on rusty VW T4 suspension mounts. There maybe some years that you have to spend a little more but it does seem to average out over time. The VW T4 is now at the turning point where good example are appreciating in value so if you pick the right one you can justify it as an investment for the future!Īs a good rule of thumb, and from experience of owning three T4’s over the last decade (a mix of 1.9 and 2.5TDI models) if you budgeted £1000 per annum for service/repair of your VW T4 you wouldn’t be too far off the mark for relatively low mile use (less than 10k miles).Ī budget of £1000 allows for around £300 per year for your standard service and around £700 buffer for extra work that may be flagged up at MOT or problems that develop along the way. The offset to this higher cost however is that you don’t have to suffer the heavier depreciation that you would get on the newer models of T5 and T6. Running any vehicle that is 20 to 30 years old is going to come with a higher maintenance bills than a new vehicle.
