VOLKSWAGEN CRAFTER CR35 TRENDLNE TDI 4M A2021 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a clean and stable maintenance profile according to the available MOT records. The most recent test on 26 July 2025 at 99,106 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful test on 02 August 2024 at 77,563 miles, which also showed no issues. The lack of recurring advisories regarding suspension components, braking systems, or emissions suggests a consistent standard of upkeep over the last two years. The mileage accumulation is significant, with the vehicle covering 21,543 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This equates to roughly 21,500 miles per year, which is high for a five-year-old vehicle. While the MOT history remains clean, this high annual mileage places increased mechanical stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and various chassis components. The current mileage of 99,106 indicates a vehicle that has seen heavy, consistent use rather than short urban trips or long periods of standing. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should focus on wear items that do not always trigger an MOT failure. You should scrutinise the condition of the shock absorbers and coil springs for signs of leaking or fatigue. The brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear patterns, and the underbody should be inspected for any signs of structural corrosion or heavy impact damage to the subframes. The absence of historical failures suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle well, but the high usage rate means you must verify the service history matches the mileage. Focus specifically on the timing belt and water pump intervals, as these are critical on high-mileage diesel engines. Checking the condition of the turbocharger and the integrity of the diesel particulate filter will also be prudent given the heavy usage pattern recorded.
