VOLKSWAGEN CRAFTER2018 · 2.0L Diesel

The Volkswagen Crafter presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 June 2025 at 137,010 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. A single failure appears on 21 June 2025 at the same mileage, yet no defects were listed, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a genuine mechanical defect. The recorded mileage of 137,010 over roughly eight years equates to about 17,126 miles per year, which is high for a 2018 light commercial vehicle and points to sustained hard use. Between the January 2023 test at 132,158 miles and April 2024 at 133,835 miles the van covered only 1,677 miles in fifteen months, suggesting a period of low activity or part-time operation. From April 2024 to June 2025 it added just 3,175 miles, so wear accumulation has slowed noticeably in the later life of the record. Given the clean test outcomes, no recurring faults exist in the history to direct a buyer toward specific known weaknesses. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across all entries implies previous owners kept the vehicle to a passable standard, though the sparse record leaves little insight into component condition between tests. A 2018 Crafter at this mileage warrants in-person checks of structural integrity beneath the chassis, front coil springs, and binding calipers, as these areas degrade silently without MOT flags. Prospective buyers should commission a independent pre-purchase inspection to measure actual tyre tread, wiper condition, and underbody rust not captured by the DVSA data. The high annual mileage means drivetrain fatigue is plausible even with clear MOTs. Treat the clean history as a baseline, not a guarantee of component life.
