Our Verdict
A solid option for those needing a large
When inspecting this 1.9L diesel Crafter, pay close attention to the tyre condition. The MOT history shows recurring issues with tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges (recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2025), which may suggest alignment issues or uneven loading patterns.
Given the mileage is over 125,000, you should verify if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine size. Check the service book to see if the oil changes have been performed at the recommended intervals to mitigate wear on the 1968cc diesel engine.
As a large diesel van, running costs will be higher than a standard car. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load weight and driving style, but expect typical heavy-duty diesel consumption.
Tax and insurance will be influenced by the vehicle's payload capacity and its classification. Maintenance costs should account for the frequent tyre replacements suggested by the MOT history, alongside standard heavy-vehicle servicing requirements.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and wheel alignment. The MOT history specifically notes multiple instances of tyres being 'worn on edge' (2022, 2023, and 2025), which can be a symptom of worn bushings, shock absorbers, or incorrect tracking.
Additionally, check the condition of all exterior lighting and registration plates; the 2025 MOT noted a deteriorated front registration plate. Finally, inspect the undercarriage for signs of heavy-duty use, as the mileage suggests this vehicle has likely been used for commercial purposes.
This 2017 white Volkswagen Crafter has covered 125,787 miles since its first registration in June 2017. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre-related advisories, but the most recent test in June 2026 passed with no defects recorded. While the mileage is significant, the vehicle has maintained a consistent testing record over the last five years.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Volkswagen Crafter to provide a comparative benchmark.
