Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. Brake pipe corrosion has been a persistent issue for this vehicle since 2023, leading to multiple failures; ensure that these have been replaced rather than simply patched. You should also negotiate based on the steering box play and drag link end wear noted in the October 2025 MOT, as these will likely require attention soon.
Equipped with a 1968cc diesel engine, this vehicle will have higher fuel and tax costs than smaller vans. Insurance groups for the Crafter are typically moderate, but maintenance costs are likely to be higher given the mileage and the history of suspension and brake wear.
Carefully inspect the front and rear brake pipes for signs of corrosion and check for any evidence of recent replacements. Examine the steering system for free play at the wheel and check the drag link end ball joints, as these were specifically flagged in the 2025 MOT tests. Finally, look for oil residue around the engine to determine the source and severity of the oil leak mentioned in the 2023 and 2025 records.
This 2015 white Volkswagen Crafter has covered 166,320 miles. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of brake pipe corrosion and steering linkage wear, with failures recorded in both 2023 and 2025. The most recent test indicates ongoing advisories regarding an oil leak and steering box play.
