2020 Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Startline TDI 2.0L Diesel · FN70 MGO

The Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Startline TDI presents a stable roadworthiness trend based on its two recorded MOT tests. The most recent examination on 21 August 2024 at 152,706 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. This follows the earlier 10 August 2023 pass at 106,683 miles, also with no advisories. The absence of any flagged faults across both tests indicates the vehicle has met statutory standards without recurring mechanical concerns. Mileage accumulation sits well above typical use for a 2020 panel van. The record shows 46,023 miles added between August 2023 and August 2024, equating to roughly 25,451 miles per year since registration. Only two tests exist in the history, leaving a gap before the 2023 examination unverified. The clean results at both recorded intervals suggest consistent operator upkeep rather than deferred maintenance, though the sparse record limits deeper trend analysis. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high annual mileage. The Crafter's rear load architecture demands scrutiny of chassis rails and mounting points for corrosion or fatigue. No advisories were raised on emissions or structural integrity, yet six-figure mileage vans commonly develop worn steering joints unseen in a static test. Verify service intervals against the 46,000-mile yearly load and confirm tyre and brake consumable replacement cycles. The MOT record alone shows no worsening faults, but the documented distance warrants hands-on checks of drivetrain and underbody condition before purchase.
