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

The Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Startline TDI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 June 2025 at 155,683 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual examinations also closed clean. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the chain, so the visible history shows no worsening condition and no recurring workshop pattern. Mileage sits high for a 2020 plate. The van covered roughly 25,947 miles a year, climbing from 107,437 miles at the August 2023 test to 136,103 miles by 29 August 2024 and 155,683 miles by June 2025. That is consistent heavy commercial use rather than long idle periods. The records show a failed test on 11 August 2023 at 107,436 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 107,437 miles; this looks like an administrative or data-entry anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. Because the DVSA file carries no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the buyer cannot infer specific wear from the record itself. The high annual mileage does mean consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and clutch components will have aged faster than a low-use example. A pre-purchase check should still confirm underbody condition and brake caliper freedom given the load cycle. In person, inspect for early fatigue the MOT may not capture: steering linkage play, exhaust emissions under load, and dampers on the rear axle. The clean test history suggests previous operators kept the crafter to statutory minimums, but the 155,683-mile figure warrants a hands-on drivetrain review before commitment.
