Buyers can save up to £2,000 on a new Volksagen Transporter van with the scrappage scheme.
If you’re struggling to choose between long-term van hire and buying a new van, then news that Volkswagen has extended its van scrappage scheme for 2018 may help you to decide.
VW Commercial Vehicles has extended the scrappage scheme introduced in September 2017. This enabled buyers to receive a scrappage incentive of up to £2,000 on a new Euro 6 van when they traded in a pre-Euro 5 diesel registered before 2010.
These offers have now been extended so they’re available to buyers ordering a new Euro 6 van by 31 March 2018 and registering the new vehicle by 30 June 2018. The trade-in vehicle must also have been owned by the customer for at least six months and the customer must be a retail buyer.
The offer is available alongside other current retail offers. The company says that — for example — this means a discount of up to £3,500 is available on a new Caddy van. Here’s a summary of the scrappage offers available on VW’s new Euro 6 petrol and diesel vans:
| Model | Scrappage Scheme saving |
| Caddy Panel Van & Caddy Life (SWB & LWB) | £1,000 |
| Transporter Panel Van and Kombi | £2,000 |
| Crafter | £2,000 |
