2022 Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Trendline TDI 2.0L Diesel · DE72 MMX

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT test on 20 January 2026. At 138,422 miles, the tester passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend in the immediate term, suggesting that the vehicle currently meets all DVSA safety and environmental standards despite its intensive usage profile. The mileage data is exceptionally high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 34,600 miles per year. This rate of accumulation suggests the Crafter has been used for long-distance commercial transit or heavy-duty fleet operations, which places significant stress on mechanical components. While the January 2026 test shows no failures, the rapid buildup of miles means that components are likely reaching the end of their typical life cycles much faster than a standard passenger vehicle. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of high-wear areas common to high-mileage commercial vans. Focus on the suspension geometry, specifically checking control arms, bushes, and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue or perished rubber from constant loading. The braking system should be evaluated for thin discs and signs of binding calipers, as high mileage often accelerates thermal component wear. Furthermore, the structural integrity of the chassis should be inspected for corrosion or impact damage, ensuring the heavy-use history has not compromised the frame.
