VW Transporter T32 Kombi Highline T5 GP

dual purpose requires the rear seats to be lit from the side and rear,see the guide for the aggregate square meters,most have no rear window=7,some do=4,some have no load area/some are pure minibuses=4 assuming seats within the set no,have had all the above,weight range 3100-3500kg.good luck,we do 7s so I aint worried but I understand the concern but don't worry,theyre doing away with dual/7 pretty soon as they told us 12 years ago.......

previous test don't mean sh1t,a lotta guys test em as 4 typically on first test primarily cos most dealers don't have 7 authorisation but they still need to sell the motor.i get at least a couple of last year 4s this year 7s a week mainly these and vivaros/movanos along with the normal bent ticket 7 transits which are also mainly tested as 4 for the same reasons.from memory the vin on most of em is hidden down on the inner wing beside the engine or tucked under the scuttle panel in the engine bay(use a mirror)tho you might be lucky enuff to get a nice clear b pillar or landing panel mounted one.also be advised that theres a 4x4 version whichll make a nice easy 4 if youre lucky enuff

Previous tests mean jack squit going by the number of posts I see on various forums clearly demonstrating the lack of understanding regards dual purpose definition.

As castrolrob said..

1. It must have a second row of upholstered seats behind the driver, fitted with seat belts.

2. The seats must be lit (illuminated) by windows of a minimum size (in the definition) at the sides AND at the rear.

Quite a lot of this type of construction have a bulkhead behind the second row of seats. In that case it aint lit from the rear & becomes a goods vehicle, class 7 in this case due to 3200 gvw.

heres a bit of nit picking from a crewcab 3030kg vivaro a couple of years back,the owner was insisting it was lit from the rear due to the courtesy light in the load area(obviously same as most,no windows in the rear doors)to which my reply was that it was supposed to be lit by glazing if I remembered the manual right and anyway your courtesy light is that smashed thing in the roof that aint working yes?its a pain in the arse and all cos our glorious fuhrer gestapo margaret wanted cheap mod landys,30 years later and we are still picking up the tab
