VW Transporter – panel van from Volkswagen's commercial vehicle plant in Hanover: 75 to 110 kW, TDI four-cylinder engines, 2,062 to 2,425 kg kerb weight, 4Motion all-wheel-drive variant
The VW Transporter is built at Volkswagen's commercial vehicle plant in Hanover, the brand's most traditional site for light commercial vehicles. 4Motion denotes the all-wheel-drive variant, TDI the turbocharged diesel engines, and Kasten the closed panel van body; model designations with digit combinations such as 2.5TDI-7HK-KASTEN-N-4X4 describe the engine, wheelbase and body variant of the given vehicle.

The register lists 6 versions with 75 to 110 kW, TDI four-cylinder engines from 1,968 to 2,461 cc, kerb weights of 2,062 to 2,425 kg, gross vehicle weights of 2,800 to 3,200 kg, lengths of 4,890 to 5,400 mm and widths of 1,840 to 1,910 mm.
The Transporter counts among the defining commercial vehicles of European trades and delivery traffic and has stood for decades for durability and a dense service network; it traditionally competes with the Ford Transit and the Mercedes-Benz Vito in the mid-size van segment and is offered in panel van, combi and platform-cab variants on different wheelbases.
When buying used, check for rust at the sliding door rails, strut mounts and load sill, the timing belt or timing chain depending on the engine, clutch condition on high-mileage examples, and on 4Motion models the all-wheel-drive coupling, plus the sliding and rear door seals against damp ingress; thanks to the large production volumes, parts availability is very broad.
