About the Volkswagen T4
The Volkswagen T4 has been tested 67 times in 2026 MOT data across 2 model years (1997 to 1998), with an average pass rate of 74%. That's 8 points below the national average of 82%, so check the year-by-year data carefully before buying. Available as diesel.
Best and Worst Years
The 1997 model is the most reliable with a 81% pass rate from 32 tests. The 1998 model has the lowest at 66%. The 15 point spread between years means reliability varies somewhat, but no year is dramatically different.
Mileage Across Years
The oldest model in our data (1997) averages 183,744 miles, while the newest (1998) averages 218,979 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
Compared to the Volkswagen brand average of 85%, the T4 is 11 points lower, placing it among the less reliable Volkswagen models.
