2014 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · EY14 OWE

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently passing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 159,933 miles, which was passed with no recorded defects. This indicates that the vehicle has maintained sufficient mechanical integrity throughout the 2025-2026 testing period. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring issues detected in the past months. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap between the vehicle's age and its accumulated distance, creating a high mileage profile relative to its 12-year age. The data shows a rapid accumulation of miles between September 2023 and September 2024, where the vehicle covered 5,000 miles in less than a month. This rapid mileage accumulation suggests that the owner has likely maintained the car with minimal effort or only performed minor servicing, such as changing tires and oil, rather than regular maintenance. The absence of defects in the 2023 and 2024 tests further supports the conclusion that this mileage increase has not resulted in catastrophic failure. Given the history of steering rack play and worn offside rear tyres, the buyer should inspect the suspension components and wheel alignment in person. While the tyre wear is currently within legal limits (5.2.3 (e)), the persistent play in the inner joint suggests that the suspension bushings may need adjustment to prevent further wear. Structural risks remain present if the steering rack integrity is compromised, as the play indicates that the joint is not fully seated or that bushings are worn. A thorough inspection is required to determine if the suspension is stable and whether the wheel alignment is correct before the vehicle is registered.
