2010 Volkswagen Crafter 2.5L Diesel · AF60 YRV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the last three consecutive MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 10 January 2025 at 240,338 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum safety standards at that time. This follows a period of clean results back to 2022, suggesting the current owner has maintained the vehicle sufficiently to avoid immediate mechanical failures during the testing process. The mileage pattern reflects consistent, high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year over its 16-year life. Between April 2022 and May 2023, the vehicle covered 11,163 miles, while the interval between May 2023 and January 2025 saw a further increase of 3,511 miles. This steady accumulation is typical of a commercial vehicle used for long-distance transit work, which inherently places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking systems compared to low-mileage examples of the same Volkswagen Crafter. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the 240,338 mile reading, a thorough check of the structural integrity is required, specifically looking for chassis corrosion and member thinning where rust often develops on this model. The failure in April 2021 at 212,733 miles suggests a specific issue was rectified then, but the buyer should verify the current state of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the thickness of the brake discs to ensure no rapid wear or binding calipers have developed since the last test.
