A buyer's guide to used Volkswagen Transporter rear bumper

No two rear bumpers are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:

Fitment questions

What years does the T6 Transporter rear bumper fit, and is it the same as the T5?

The T6 runs from 2015 onwards (with the T6.1 facelift arriving in 2019), while the T5 covers 2003 to 2015 — these are completely different generations with different rear bumper designs, so a T5 bumper will not fit a T6. Within the T6 and T6.1, confirm with the breaker whether the pre-facelift and post-2019 bumpers interchange, as pressing changes at the facelift point mean the two may differ. Always quote your exact registration to the breaker to be sure.

Does a T5 Transporter rear bumper from a 2009 fit a 2013 model?

The T5 generation runs from 2003 to 2015 and received a significant facelift in 2010, which is a known boundary for rear panel changes. A bumper from a 2009 T5 and one from a 2013 T5 sit on either side of that 2010 facelift, so you should confirm with the breaker whether they interchange rather than assume they do. Quote your registration when asking for a quote.

Does it matter whether my Transporter has barn doors or a tailgate when buying a rear bumper?

Yes — this is one of the most important questions for a Transporter rear bumper. The cut-outs, lower valance profile and sometimes the overall shape can differ between barn-door and tailgate configurations, so always tell the breaker which you have. Quoting your registration makes this straightforward and avoids ordering the wrong part.

Will a rear bumper from a short-wheelbase Transporter fit a long-wheelbase model?

Wheelbase can affect rear body panels and bumper mounting points on vans, so it is not safe to assume a SWB and LWB bumper are the same part. Tell the breaker your wheelbase as well as your registration when requesting a quote, as the dismantler can check the part numbers against their vehicle.

Does the trim level matter — for example, will a bumper from a Transporter Trendline fit a Highline or Startline?

Trim level does not affect which rear bumper physically fits — the Startline, Trendline, Kombi and Highline all share the same body structure within a generation, so the bumper shell will be the same part. What may differ is whether the bumper comes pre-painted or includes sensor holes, reverse camera cut-outs or trim finisher clips that vary between spec levels, so check what is included with any used part you are quoted. The fitment itself is not a concern, but cosmetic finish and add-on features are worth discussing with the breaker.

I have a T6 Transporter with a high roof — does that change which rear bumper I need?

Roof height affects the upper body panels and roof line but does not typically change the rear bumper itself, which sits at the lower rear of the vehicle regardless of roof height. The more important variables for the bumper are generation (T5 or T6/T6.1), wheelbase, and whether you have barn doors or a tailgate. Confirm the exact specification with the breaker using your registration to be certain.
