2014 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · AF14 EXP

The 2014 Volkswagen Crafter presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 253,079 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 28 October 2024 at 249,291 miles. Prior tests in October 2023 and December 2021 also passed without advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. The recorded mileage of 253,079 against a 12-year lifespan equates to roughly 21,090 miles per year, which is high for a light commercial vehicle of this age and points to sustained hard use. Between the December 2021 test at 223,142 miles and the October 2023 test at 235,116 miles the van covered around 11,974 miles, then added 14,175 miles by October 2024 and a further 3,788 by March 2026. A same-day fail and retest on 17 December 2021 at 223,141 and 223,142 miles respectively shows a rejected certificate with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentational issue rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. Given the absence of flagged advisories across five tests, the MOT data alone reveals no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion concerns. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, drivetrain wear, and exhaust emissions given the high annual mileage. The clean history implies prior owners kept the Crafter to test standard, but 253,079 miles will have loaded the clutch, turbo, and bearing assemblies beyond what a pass certificate confirms.
