2014 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · DX64 WWN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding the braking system and structural surface protection. The most recent test in June 2026 at 123,449 miles identified persistent corrosion on both rear brake pipes, which were also covered in grease, potentially masking further decay. This follows a pattern seen in 2025 where the parking brake showed low efficiency and the brake discs were pitted, suggesting that the braking assembly is being maintained with reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's twelve-year age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in the records between October 2018 and November 2019, during which the vehicle covered roughly 20,000 miles. Since 2021, the usage has remained steady, climbing from 74,008 miles to over 123,000 miles in five years. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and metal hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the brake lines and suspension components. The record shows recurring issues with the parking brake, including a failure in April 2024 due to low efficiency and excessive lever travel, which indicates the mechanism is prone to neglect. The presence of grease on the corroded brake pipes noted in 2026 is a red flag, as it is often used to hide significant rust that compromises the structural integrity of the metal lines. Additionally, the windscreen has been a recurring point of failure, with chips and cracks noted in 2019, 2024, and 2026, necessitating a check for current fractures that may affect the driver's view.
