2017 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · DL17 ACX

The 2026-02-06 MOT at 152,180 miles passed with no defects, confirming the Volkswagen Crafter remains roadworthy and indicating a stable maintenance trend. Since the 2022-12-20 test at 103,193 miles, each subsequent test has produced a clean result, with the only anomaly being a 2025-01-30 failure that was remedied before the 2025-02-12 pass. The mileage trajectory shows a marked increase relative to the vehicle’s 2017 manufacture date. From 2022-12-20 (103,193 miles) to 2024-01-09 (111,869 miles) the Crafter covered 8,676 miles in just over a year, equating to roughly 7,200 miles per year, and the subsequent rise to 133,968 miles by 2025-02-12 adds another 22,100 miles in 14 months, or about 19,000 miles annually. Such rapid accumulation suggests intensive use and heightened wear on consumables and mechanical components. A buyer should therefore prioritize inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or excessive play, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially around the rear sill and front bulkhead where corrosion commonly initiates on high‑mileage vans. Although the MOT history records no recurring faults, the high annual mileage implies accelerated degradation of tyres, wiper blades and ancillary components, so a thorough physical assessment of these items, together with a review of service invoices, will reveal whether basic upkeep has been consistently maintained.
