About the Volkswagen Tr-porter
The Volkswagen Tr-porter has been tested 661 times in 2026 MOT data across 3 model years (2013 to 2015), with an average pass rate of 80%. That's close to the national average of 82%. Available as diesel.
Best and Worst Years
The 2013 model is the most reliable with a 85% pass rate from 268 tests. The 2015 model has the lowest at 72%. The 13 point spread between years means reliability varies somewhat, but no year is dramatically different.
Mileage Across Years
The oldest model in our data (2013) averages 115,957 miles, while the newest (2015) averages 114,762 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
Compared to the Volkswagen brand average of 85%, the Tr-porter is 5 points lower, placing it among the less reliable Volkswagen models.
