2010 Volkswagen Crafter 2.5L Diesel · BF60 GKK

Based on the MOT history, this 2010 Volkswagen Crafter presents a high risk due to neglected maintenance of safety-critical systems. The vehicle failed its most recent test on 22 December 2025, which is less than six months ago. This failure was serious, citing perishing outer sidewalls on all four tyres and worn, pitted front brake discs. It also recorded a severely reduced headlamp beam and a broken windscreen washer. The mechanical trend is clearly worsening. The history reveals a long-standing, unresolved issue with the front brakes, which were noted as worn or pitted as far back as 2019 and flagged again in 2023 alongside a corroded brake pipe. Similarly, tyre perishing appeared on a single wheel in 2019 but has since degraded to affect all four tyres. This indicates a pattern of deferred repairs rather than isolated incidents. With an average mileage of roughly 7,100 miles per year, the vehicle has not been used heavily. However, the specific defects suggest periods of inactivity or standing, which accelerates tyre rubber degradation and causes brake discs to corrode and pit rather than wear evenly.
