2016 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · DX65 BGY

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025 MOT at 97,762 miles. All tests from 2022 to 2025 show consistent passing, with no recurring issues identified. The 2022 failure at 55,487 miles is listed without defect details, but subsequent tests indicate resolution, suggesting the issue was isolated. No structural corrosion, brake system faults, or suspension failures were flagged in the recorded history, supporting a conclusion of reliable maintenance. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,776 miles annually. Gaps between MOTs range from 12 to 14 months, consistent with standard testing intervals. The 2023 test at 72,051 miles showed a 16,564-mile increase from 2022, followed by a 11,837-mile rise to 83,888 in 2024, then 13,874 miles to 97,762 by 2025. No irregularities in mileage accumulation were noted, and the absence of defects in all tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards without significant mechanical strain. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade over time without MOT testing. The exhaust system and corrosion in the chassis should also be checked, as these are not assessed during standard MOTs. While no brake-related issues were recorded, visual checks for worn brake discs or binding calipers are advisable. The vehicle’s clean MOT history indicates responsible ownership, but a pre-purchase survey remains essential to confirm the absence of hidden mechanical or structural concerns.
