2013 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · CX13 SOA

The Volkswagen Crafter presents as roadworthy following a pass on 30 January 2026 at 62,094 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, though the record shows a failed test on 29 January 2026 at identical mileage with no defects logged, immediately cleared by the next day's pass. A prior fail on 17 October 2023 at 62,025 miles, also with no defects listed, was followed by a pass on 24 October 2023. These back-to-back fail-pass pairs suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults, as no advisories or defects appear on any entry. The van shows exceptionally low use for a 2013 model, covering only 62,094 miles over roughly thirteen years, about 4,776 miles per year. Between the October 2023 pass at 62,044 miles and the October 2024 pass at 62,061 miles the vehicle added just 17 miles. From October 2024 to January 2026 it covered a further 33 miles. Such minimal accumulation points to long standing periods, with the Crafter likely used sparingly or stored for extended stretches rather than driven as a working vehicle. Given the sparse record and absence of advisories, the MOT data alone reveals no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion concerns. A buyer should still inspect in person for perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and structural rust beneath the body, as low-mileage vans left standing often develop these faults without triggering MOT defects. Check the condition of tyres, brake discs, and door hinges for deterioration linked to inactivity. The clean test history offers reassurance on statutory roadworthiness, but the twin fail-pass sequences in 2023 and 2026 warrant a query to the seller about the test stations used. Confirm the vehicle has not been subject to repeated presentation to mask an underlying fault the tester chose not to record.
