2021 Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · AF71 SRX

The Volkswagen Crafter CR35 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 October 2025 at 144,497 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 25 September 2024 at 119,084 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failed test on 24 September 2024 at 119,078 miles, which the record lists with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven failure. Mileage accumulation sits high for a 2021 plate. The van covered roughly 25,413 miles between the September 2024 test and the October 2025 test, averaging close to 28,900 miles per year across its life. The one-day gap between the 24 September 2024 fail and 25 September 2024 pass at near-identical mileages confirms a swift retest rather than a hidden fault. The sparse record shows no advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across either pass, so no wear trend is visible in the data. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and consumable items the MOT did not flag. High annual mileage of this order loads drivetrain components, coil springs, and binding calipers well beyond typical light-use vans. The clean advisories do not mean zero wear; they mean the testers found nothing reportable at those dates. Check the exhaust emissions under load, scrutinise subframe mounts for fatigue, and measure remaining tread and disc thickness against the 144,497-mile figure. The previous owner sustained a fault-free test history after the 2024 anomaly, which implies reasonable basic upkeep, but the sparse entries leave mechanical condition between tests unverified.
