2013 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · AF13 AAY

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available data, though the MOT history is severely outdated. The most recent pass was recorded on 18 November 2022 at 194,924 miles. Given today's date of 21 July 2026, the vehicle has been without a valid MOT for over three years. While the records show no defects or advisories across the last three tests, the current roadworthiness cannot be verified without a fresh inspection. The mileage pattern indicates heavy commercial use, averaging nearly 15,000 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. The vehicle covered 32,732 miles between December 2020 and December 2021, showing a period of intense activity. However, the odometer remained static at 194,924 miles between the December 2021 and November 2022 tests, suggesting the van may have been off the road or stored for a significant duration. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. High-mileage Crafters are prone to structural corrosion and wear in the suspension bushes and coil springs. Because the vehicle has sat idle for several years, the brake calipers may have seized and the tyres likely suffer from flat-spotting or perishing. The lack of any recorded advisories is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. This suggests either an exceptionally well-maintained van or a lenient testing history. A technician should specifically check for oil leaks from the engine and gearbox, as well as the condition of the exhaust system, to ensure no degradation occurred during the long period of inactivity.
