2015 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · NJ65 AFV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-23 at 140,733 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, a failed test on 2026-02-19 at 140,721 miles—also with no defects—suggests potential inconsistencies in testing or administrative errors. The prior tests from 2024-02-07 (128,366 miles) and 2025-01-30 (132,966 miles) were both passes with no issues, establishing a stable trend over the past two years. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are documented in the record, but the high mileage and recent failed test warrant closer scrutiny. The vehicle accumulates 12,794 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its 11-year age. A significant jump from 128,366 miles (2024-02-07) to 132,966 miles (2025-01-30) reflects rapid mileage growth over 11 months, followed by a 7,755-mile increase in 13 months to 140,733 miles. This pattern suggests frequent use, which may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components. The absence of defects in most tests does not preclude underlying issues, particularly given the high annual mileage and the unresolved failed test. A physical inspection should prioritise suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as high mileage often exacerbates these elements. The exhaust system and corrosion in load-bearing structures should also be checked, as prolonged use increases risk. Despite the MOT record’s lack of defects, the vehicle’s usage history and recent failed test imply potential hidden faults. Buyers should verify service history and conduct a thorough mechanical check, focusing on components likely affected by heavy annual mileage.
