2010 Volkswagen Crafter 2.5L Diesel · FV60 XEM

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 April 2026 at 40,758 miles returned no defects or advisories. This indicates a remarkably stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets regulatory standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures typically seen in vans of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old Volkswagen Crafter, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between May 2022 and April 2026, the vehicle covered only 4,866 miles, showing a pattern of very infrequent use. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often introduces risks associated with age-related degradation of rubber parts and fluids. The data remains clean across all entries, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial loads or high mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by long periods of standing and low-mileage operation. Check for aged rubber elements such as suspension bushes, split boots, and tyre sidewalls may have perished or developed flat spots from lack of movement. The braking system should be tested for seized or binding calipers, as infrequent use can lead to surface corrosion on brake discs. Additionally, inspect the chassis and structural points for any early signs of surface rust, as age-related oxidation occurs regardless of how many miles the vehicle has travelled.
