2021 Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Trendline TDI 2.0L Diesel · FN71 OMB

The Volkswagen Crafter CR35 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 92,491 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 10 October 2024 at 71,245 miles also passed with no advisories. The duplicate 10 October 2024 entry showing a fail with no defects recorded appears to be a DVSA administrative anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical fault, as the same-day pass confirms the vehicle met requirements. Mileage has accumulated at a high rate for a 2021 plate. The van covered 21,246 miles between October 2024 and October 2025, lifting total distance to 92,491 miles and averaging roughly 18,500 miles per year. Such commercial-use mileage means consumable items like brake discs, clutch components, and suspension bushes will have seen heavier cyclic loading than a lightly used private vehicle. The record shows no gaps in testing and no intermediate entries, so the history is sparse but clean across the two verified annual tests. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the high annual mileage and winter road salt exposure. The tester logged no advisories on coil springs, track rod ends, or exhaust emissions, yet absence of flagged wear at 92,491 miles does not confirm component life remaining. Verify brake caliper operation and tyre tread depth independently, as the MOT only captures condition at the test date. Previous keepers maintained the test schedule without lapsing and avoided recurring failures, which suggests basic statutory upkeep was met. The clean record offers no evidence of neglected suspension or binding brakes, but the high mileage demands scrutiny of drivetrain condition before purchase.
