Volkswagen Camper build years & generations
The Volkswagen Camper spans several build years and named generations (1950-1979). Match a build year to its generation, then see how each group of build years does at its MOT.
Which year is which
Build years & generations, side by side
Find the build years you're looking at and see which generation they are. You'll also see which group of build years the MOT figures come from.
Built 1950-1966
- Generation
- T1 (Split-screen)
- Figures from
- cars built before 2005
Counted together with T1 (Split-screen) and T2 (Bay window) cars built in the same years.
Built 1967-1979
- Generation
- T2 (Bay window)
- Figures from
- cars built before 2005
Counted together with T1 (Split-screen) and T2 (Bay window) cars built in the same years.
“Figures from” is the group of build years behind each card's MOT figures. Years where one generation gave way to the next can sit in a wider group until there's enough history to split them.
By build-year group
How each group of build years performs
Each card shows MOT results for one group of Volkswagen Camper build years. “Age” means the car's age on the day of its MOT, not its build year. “25+” groups every test on cars aged 25 or older.
