2015 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · YE15 AEG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-25 at 140,190 miles showed a pass with no defects, but this followed a failure on 2026-03-12 at 140,177 miles, which also recorded no defects. This pattern of alternating pass/fail results within 13 days suggests potential inconsistency in testing outcomes or unresolved minor issues. The prior tests in 2025 and 2024 similarly showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record overall, though the recent back-to-back results raise questions about the vehicle’s reliability. The mileage of 140,190 miles at 11 years old equates to approximately 12,745 miles annually, which is notably high. The 2024-03-22 test at 122,338 miles shows a steady increase, with no significant gaps in recorded mileage. This suggests consistent usage rather than prolonged inactivity, which may accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain parts. However, the absence of recorded defects in most tests implies the vehicle has been maintained to basic standards, though not necessarily to a high level of mechanical precision. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny due to the frequent testing and potential for hidden wear. Structural corrosion is less likely given the clean MOT history, but a thorough underbody check is advisable. The lack of specific defect details in the records means physical inspection of key components is critical to confirm the vehicle’s roadworthiness beyond the MOT data.
