Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those needing a
When inspecting this Crafter, focus on the service records to ensure the 1968cc TDI engine has been serviced at the recommended intervals. As this is a commercial vehicle, check the load area for wear and tear that corresponds with the 65,000-mile odometer reading.
Verify that all external lighting is functioning, as the vehicle has a history of marker lamp and headlamp issues. Negotiate based on the remaining tread depth of the tyres, specifically checking for any further punctures or repairs following the nail found in February 2026.
The Euro 6 AR status ensures this vehicle is compliant with most UK Low Emission Zones, avoiding daily charges in cities like London. Fuel economy for the 2.0L diesel engine is generally competitive for a vehicle of this size, though costs will vary based on load and driving style.
Annual costs will include standard light commercial vehicle road tax and insurance, which can be higher for the CR35 variant depending on the driver's profile. Typical maintenance for this model includes regular oil changes and brake wear checks.
Pay close attention to the exterior lighting; the MOT history specifically notes failures for both the nearside and offside outline marker lamps in 2026, and headlamp aim issues in 2025. Ensure the headlamps are now correctly aligned and all bulbs are operational.
Check the windscreen washer system to ensure it is fully functional, as this was a cause for failure in February 2025. Finally, inspect the nearside rear tyre to ensure the previous puncture was repaired professionally and that there is no uneven wear across the axle.
This 2022 white Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Startline TDI has recorded 65,658 miles. The MOT history shows two failures in 2025 and 2026, both of which were resolved on the same day and involved minor issues such as marker lamps, headlamp aim, and a tyre puncture. It remains a current and compliant vehicle for urban operations.
Aggregate data for this specific Startline TDI variant is unavailable, but the Crafter platform is widely used in UK commercial fleets.
