VOLKSWAGEN CRAFTER2014 · 2.0L Diesel

The 2014 Volkswagen Crafter demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests. The most recent 2025-07-02 inspection at 141,842 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with the 2024 and 2023 results. A single 2022 failure at 65,549 miles was recorded without specific defects, suggesting a procedural or minor issue that was resolved prior to the subsequent 2022-01-04 pass. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident in the documented history, indicating consistent maintenance. Mileage progression shows a steady annual average of 11,820 miles, consistent with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle. The 2022-01-04 test at 65,558 miles was followed by a 35,734-mile increase to 100,298 by 2023-07-03, reflecting normal operational cycles. No abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity periods are apparent, though the 2022 failure without defects warrants scrutiny. The absence of recurring issues in later tests implies no systemic deterioration, though the vehicle’s age necessitates closer examination of high-mileage components. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for wear, as older vans often experience uneven pad wear or corrosion. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body mounts, is critical given the model’s commercial heritage. While the MOT record shows no immediate risks, the 2022 failure and high mileage underscore the need for a thorough pre-purchase assessment of mechanical and corrosion-prone areas.
