2012 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · BF62 AAY

This Volkswagen Crafter presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 172,730 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage accumulation is high for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between October 2022 and October 2024, where the odometer rose from 115,493 to 150,259 miles. The most recent interval shows an even sharper increase, adding 22,471 miles in just over a year. Such high mileage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The absence of advisories over the last four years is unusual for a commercial vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, the lack of mentioned wear on brake discs, tyres, or exhaust components suggests the owner may be performing preventative maintenance outside of the MOT cycle. A buyer should still physically inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly on the sills and load area, as these are common failure points for Crafters that the MOT may not always flag until they become critical. Focus a physical inspection on the suspension and steering rack. High mileage often leads to play in the ball joints and degradation of the dampers. Check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items not covered by an MOT test but essential for a vehicle with 172,730 miles.
