Do you know if the dealer checked the actual van to see if the limiter is active, or did they just check its "asbuilt" data (how it was supplied from the factory)? There was a limiter available at that speed - I had it on a Mk6 van: it's 120km/h, which equates to about 74MPH.
If they haven't checked the van itself it's possible that the previous owner had a limit set after they'd taken delivery.
If it was fuel starvation it would run out of steam at about the same revs in any gear. I'll bet the engine will rev beyond whatever it's at when you hit the limiter in top gear.
Drink moderately, eat healthily, exercise regularly, die anyway.
