Encountering an issue where your VW Transporter T6 (2015 to present) won’t start can be especially frustrating. As a seasoned mechanic with over 15 years of experience working with various vehicle makes and models in the UK, I’ve seen this issue a few times. Here, I’ll walk through some common causes, their symptoms, and what the repair process generally involves. Additionally, we’ll explore why it might be more advantageous to sell your van and possibly upgrade to a new one.
Several factors can prevent your VW Transporter T6 from starting. A common issue might be related to the battery; if it's discharged or faulty, the van won't have enough power to start the engine. You might notice dimming headlights or a clicking sound when turning the ignition key, which are telltale signs of battery problems.
Another culprit could be the starter motor. If this component fails, you’ll typically hear a single click when you attempt to start the engine, but it won’t turn over. Alternatively, issues with the fuel system — like a clogged fuel filter or problems with the fuel pump — can prevent your van from starting, often with no specific auditory warning.
Ignition system troubles, such as defective spark plugs or ignition coils, can also stop your engine from starting. These issues can sometimes be accompanied by the engine cranking but failing to start.
If you're dealing with a non-starting VW Transporter T6, the repair process will usually begin with diagnostics to pinpoint the exact cause. This might involve checking the battery charge and health, inspecting the starter motor, and testing the fuel pump and ignition system components. Depending on the diagnosis, repairs might include replacing the faulty parts, such as the battery, starter motor, or other affected components in the ignition or fuel system.
Considering the hassle and potential costs associated with diagnosing and fixing a non-starting issue, you might wonder if it’s just easier to sell your vehicle. Selling your VW Transporter T6 can indeed be a stress-free process, especially when you choose a reliable van buying service like Vandervan. Why worry about repairs when you can receive a free, instant quote in under 30 seconds, have your van collected the next day from anywhere in the UK, and get paid instantly?
Switching to a new or newer van rather than facing recurring issues not only saves you time and potential future repair costs but also offers peace of mind with a new vehicle warranty and the latest features. Deciding to sell your VW Transporter T6 could simply be the more convenient and sensible option.

Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
