If you're talking about the video where a red Doka is completely demolished, they were testing the crash wall, not the vehicle. https://youtu.be/U6c_un9sRKQ

VAG put a lot of effort into making the LT and T3 crash resistant. Given the lack of airbags and the very short space in front, I think they did a remarkable job. And compared to Japanese vans of the same era, they're amazing: https://youtu.be/VmixmEkfLu0
