2009 Volkswagen Crafter 2.5L Diesel · AG09 XHD

The 2009 Volkswagen Crafter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 October 2025 at 202,364 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across the prior three annual examinations. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 17-year-old light commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 11,900 miles per year. The record shows 189,146 miles at the 21 October 2022 test, rising to 193,598 miles by 24 October 2023, 197,881 miles by 22 October 2024, and 202,364 miles by October 2025. The only anomaly is a failed test logged on 24 October 2023 at 193,594 miles, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 193,598 miles with no defects cited, indicating a likely administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear across the five-year span. The absence of any advisories or defects across the full history means the MOT record alone gives no signal of wear to suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of these components given the 202,364-mile total. High mileage on a Crafter of this age commonly hides fatigued front suspension arms and degraded rear spring mounts not always caught in a walk-through test. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to a basic pass standard with no flagged neglect. The clean sheet offers reasonable assurance of structural integrity, but in-person checks of exhaust emissions under load and binding calipers remain prudent before purchase.
