2012 VW Transporter T5.1 2.0 TDI Day Van | Huge Mechanical Overhaul | Full MOT | East Lothian

Description

Description:
For sale is a VW day van conversion, highly reliable 2012 Volkswagen Transporter T5.1 BlueMotion, located in East Lothian. It has covered 164,000 miles but drives beautifully thanks to a massive mechanical overhaul within the last 12 months.
Unlike most high-mileage T5s on the market that are ticking time bombs for expensive repairs, this van has already had all the major, costly wear-and-tear components replaced by professionals. It is 100% ready for its next adventure.

Mechanical Peace of Mind (Replaced within the last year):
* Dual-Mass Flywheel
* Timing Belt & Water Pump (Fresh and clear for years to come)
* Drive Shaft
* Alternator & Main Battery
* Radiator
* Stainless Steel Injector Lines (Corrosion-proof upgrade)
* 1 Year MOT

Vehicle Overview:
* Year: 2012 (12-Reg)
* Mileage: 164,000 miles
* Engine: 2.0 TDI BlueMotion Tech (Highly economical with Start/Stop)
* Gearbox: 5-Speed Manual
* Keys: 2 x Original Keys
* MOT: Fresh 12-Month MOT (Passed 28th July 2026 – Expires July 2027)

Day Van Spec & Conversion Potential:
* Fantastic Project Base: Because the heavy, expensive mechanical work is already done and the interior is already insulated and lined, this is the ultimate blank canvas if you want to eventually upgrade it to a full 4-berth camper van with a pop-top, kitchen unit, and rock-and-roll bed.
* Professionally Insulated & Lined: Fully carpeted interior keeps the van quiet on the motorway and warm overnight.
* LED dimmable strip lighting.
* Removable Premium Leather Rear Seats: Instantly switch between a 5-seater family cruiser and a massive panel van for hauling gear.
* Day Battery Setup: Split-charge leisure battery system to power your devices or 12V accessories on day trips without draining the main engine battery.
* Tech Upgrade: Integrated reversing camera for effortless parking.
* Standard Roof: Fits under most height barriers, making it an excellent, practical daily driver.

Condition Notes (Priced Accordingly):
Mechanically this van is in great condition and needs nothing, but cosmetically it shows typical signs of its age:
* There is some surface rust on the doors in the usual T5 trouble spots. It is a straightforward, easy repair for anyone handy or a local bodyshop.
* It sits on the original VW steel wheels. These are showing some rust and will need a bit of attention (a quick refurb or sand-down and spray) to bring them back to their best, or they provide the perfect excuse to upgrade to your own choice of alloys.
Receipts of the extensive recent work are available. This is a solid, honest, and stress-free entry into the VW lifestyle.
