2018 Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Trendline TDI Heavy oil · FG68 AEA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 28 May 2025 at 52,574 miles resulted with no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean results in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the mechanical condition remains maintained to a high standard over time. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between May 2022 (27,538 miles) and May 2024 (44,766 miles), the Crafter covered 17,228 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The single failure recorded on 16 May 2023 at 38,509 miles was resolved quickly, as just nine days later during a successful retest at 38,693 miles. This suggests a minor issue that was addressed immediately rather than a chronic trend of mechanical neglect. While the record is remarkably clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushings and rubber components, as low-mileage vehicles of this age can sometimes suffer from drying or cracking of materials if they sit stationary for long periods. Check the brake discs for any signs of surface corrosion or pitting, which can indicate the vehicle is used infrequently. Given the lack of advisories in the last two tests, the structural integrity appears to be well-preserved, but verifying the underbody for early-stage rust remains a standard practice for a van of this era.
