2018 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · FN18 GXF

The Volkswagen Crafter presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 2 March 2026 at 160,953 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, though the record shows an anomalous fail on the same date at identical mileage before the pass, with no defects listed by the tester. Prior tests in February 2025 at 132,356 miles and March 2024 at 107,926 miles also passed clean, with a similar same-day fail-then-pass pattern at 107,926 miles showing no recorded faults. Mileage accumulation sits high for an eight-year-old 2018 van. The odometer moved from 107,926 miles in March 2024 to 132,356 miles by February 2025, then jumped to 160,953 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 20,100 miles per year, with the final 12-month span covering over 28,000 miles. The sparse four-test record gives little insight into intermediate care, but the clean advisories across all entries suggest consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes were addressed before each examination. The repeated same-day fail and pass entries with no defects logged point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault. A buyer should still verify the vehicle in person given the high mileage. Inspect front suspension arms and bushes for play, check rear coil springs for fracture, and confirm brake calipers are not binding after a road test. Examine the chassis outriggers and sills for corrosion, as a Crafter at 160,953 miles used for deliveries will stress structural integrity. Given the absent advisories, previous owners likely kept basic upkeep current rather than neglecting consumables. The twin fail-pass pairs without faults recorded warrant a check of the DVSA failure reason codes if available, to rule out omitted data. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible due to the drivetrain wear expected at this mileage.
