That all depends on what you mean and model. The whole car? The engine? Suspension? Brakes? Well if you mean the car itself, it can last forever. Although that means eventually you would have replaced every body seal and mechanical part on the car. Usually the engines of the Turbo Diesels are good for 300,000 to 400,000 miles. But the life of you car all depends on you. As long as you maintain it very well and replace the worn out parts with good parts, not cheap parts you get at Wal-mart. It all depends on the amount of maintenance and care you take of the car. They last a long time, as long as you maintain them and take care of them.

1991 was the last year that VW brought in Vanagons to the US. In 1993 the Vanagon was replaced by the Eurovan until 2003 when VW stopped importing them as well to the US.
