2014 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · AF64 EHG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in attention to detail. While it passed its most recent test in March 2025 at 85,376 miles, this followed a failure just five days prior where multiple safety items were identified. The transition from clean records in 2022 and 2023 to a series of defects in 2024 and 2025 suggests the owner is now only performing the minimum work required to pass the MOT rather than conducting preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year over its twelve-year life. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the vehicle covered 3,257 miles, indicating periods of very low activity. However, the low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the perishing tyre noted in 2024 and the worn wiper blade in 2025. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The tester flagged an offside front shock absorber with an excessively worn bush in February 2025 and a binding nearside front brake previously recorded in 2024. These issues, combined with the brake pedal wearing smooth in March 2025, indicate that the hydraulic and mechanical components are reaching the end of their service life. The recurring failure of reflectors and the stop lamp across multiple tests shows that minor lighting defects are being ignored until they forced a failure, further highlighting a pattern of neglect regarding basic exterior fitment.
