2018 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · CA67 NNF

This Volkswagen Crafter has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past five annual tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the examinations conducted between January 2022 and January 2026. The most recent test on January 8, 2026, at 210,273 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the absence of any recorded issues does not preclude underlying wear or deferred maintenance. The lack of advisories suggests no recurring or critical failures were overlooked by previous testers, but the high mileage demands thorough scrutiny of high-wear components. The recorded mileage progression reveals an unusually aggressive usage pattern, averaging approximately 26,284 miles annually over the past eight years. This is significantly higher than the typical annual mileage for a commercial van of this age, with notable jumps between tests—such as the 25,315 miles accumulated between January 2023 and January 2024, and another 25,305 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. Such rapid mileage accumulation implies extensive use, which may have accelerated wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components. The consistent annual testing schedule, however, indicates compliance with legal requirements, though it does not guarantee proactive maintenance beyond statutory obligations. Given the high mileage and commercial usage, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system for worn or leaking bushes and degraded coil springs, as these are critical load-bearing components under heavy loads. The brake system—particularly rear calipers and discs—should be checked for binding or excessive wear, as repeated heavy braking cycles could lead to uneven wear or corrosion. Structural integrity, including the floorpan and wheel arches, should be examined for signs of corrosion, especially in areas prone to salt ingress or fluid leaks. Additionally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or structural fatigue, as high-mileage vans often develop cracks in catalytic converters or mufflers. While the MOT history shows no failures, these components are most likely to exhibit deferred wear.
