2019 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · BJ19 EYD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a successful MOT test on August 21, 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a lapse in oversight prior to that pass, as the vehicle initially failed the test due to missing road wheel fixings on both the offside front and nearside rear. While these were rectified immediately to secure the pass, the failure suggests a lack of pre-test inspection by the previous owner regarding critical safety-of-securing hardware. At 117,933 miles, this seven-year-old Crafter has covered significant ground, averaging approximately 16,800 miles per year. Between the February 2022 test at 106,661 miles and the August 2025 test, the vehicle clocked over 11,000 miles in just three years. This high rate of accumulation is consistent with heavy commercial use, which accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components like the drivetrain and braking systems compared to a lower-mileage passenger vehicle. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking assembly, as the high mileage often leads to perished bushes and worn coil springs. The record shows a minor reflector defect in 2022, but the more recent wheel fixing failure in 2025 highlights a need to check all wheel bolts for torque and proper seating. Given the age and mileage, inspecting the chassis for structural corrosion around mounting points is also essential to ensure the high usage cycle has not compromised the structural integrity of the van.
