VOLKSWAGEN CRAFTER CR35 TRENDLINE TDI2020 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status, following an improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 30 May 2025 at 51,740 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that any previous mechanical or structural issues have been rectified. This transition from a failure in the prior year to a clean pass suggests the current owner took proactive action to bring the vehicle up to required safety standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. Between the April 2024 test and the May 2025 test, the vehicle covered 14,872 miles in just over thirteen months. This specific spike in usage is higher than the annual average for this commercial Crafter, which typically accelerates wear on heavy-duty components and braking systems. However, the total lifetime mileage of 51,740 miles remains relatively low for a diesel van of this age. Because the failure on 29 April 2024 at 36,868 miles did not list specific defect codes in the provided summary, a buyer must verify the nature of the repairs made through service records. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension bushes and control arms, as these are common points of failure on the Crafter platform subjected to varying loads. Check the chassis for early signs of structural corrosion and inspect the brake discs for uneven wear to ensure the recent increase in mileage has not caused premature degradation of the braking system.
