2022 Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Trendline TDI 2.0L Diesel · CV22 RPX

The Volkswagen Crafter CR35 currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 20 April 2026 at 96,357 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, following a prior failure on 1 April 2025 at 70,569 miles and a pass on 2 April 2025 at 70,573 miles. The maintenance trend is unstable, with two failed tests in the vehicle's short four-year life and no advisory or defect data supplied to explain the outcomes. The recorded mileage shows heavy use for a 2022 plate. The van covered roughly 25,788 miles between 2 April 2025 and 20 April 2026, pushing the total to 96,357 miles against a typical light-commercial average. Annual accumulation sits near 24,000 miles. The sparse MOT history offers no advisories across either pass or fail, so the high mileage alone signals accelerated wear on drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brake discs absent any documented inspection flags. A buyer must commission a physical inspection before purchase. The back-to-back failure and pass in April 2025 suggest a rectified fault within days, yet the 2026 failure with zero recorded defects points to an administrative or unlogged mechanical rejection. Given the load and mileage, examine front coil springs, track-rod ends, and rear brake calipers for binding. Check structural integrity under the chassis for corrosion and confirm emissions compliance on the 2.0 TDI unit. Treat the missing defect text with caution. Previous keepers ran the van hard with no paper trail of consumable replacement. Verify service records independently and test-drive under load to expose any latent transmission or turbo lag not captured by DVSA entries.
