2016 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · AP16 APF

The Volkswagen Crafter presents a current roadworthy status with a passed MOT dated 29 January 2025 at 213,160 miles, and the maintenance trend across the record reads as stable with no defects ever logged. The January 2025 test shows a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the 3 January 2024 pass at 213,029 miles and the 29 November 2023 fail at 213,024 miles with no defects again point to paperwork or presentation issues at the test centre, not component failure. The mileage pattern is striking for a ten-year-old 2016 van. The record jumps from 193,357 miles at the October 2022 pass to 213,024 miles by November 2023, an addition of roughly 19,667 miles in thirteen months, then crawls just 136 miles through to January 2025. Average annual use sits near 21,300 miles, high for the age, but the near-static 213,000-mile figure across 2024 and early 2025 suggests the vehicle stood largely idle or covered only short local trips in its final logged period. Sparse test entries and a clean defect sheet give little granular wear data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high lifetime mileage and the long idle spell that can seize calipers or promote corrosion. The 2023 and 2025 same-day fail-pass pairs with zero defects imply no outstanding advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity were raised. Verify the VIN and test certificate numbers behind those anomalous dual entries, as the DVSA log shows no mechanical grounds for concern but leaves the reason for rejection unstated.
