2020 Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Trendline TDI 2.0L Diesel · GD70 AFK

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection. The February 2026 test at 97,147 miles showed no defects, indicating that the vehicle has successfully cleared all previous requirements. While the December 2023 test initially resulted in a failure, the subsequent pass suggests that any identified issues were rectified promptly. The mileage accumulation is significant for a six-year-old vehicle. Between December 2023 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 27,224 miles, which is consistent with the higher annual average of approximately 16,000 miles. A notable surge occurred between November 2024 and February 2026, where the mileage increased from 91,565 to 97,147. This high usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been used for heavy-duty or long-distance transit, which typically accelerates the wear on suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and drivetrain components. Given the high annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on heavy-use consumables. You should scrutinise the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the underside for signs of corrosion or structural integrity issues common in high-mileage commercial vans. The suspension system, specifically the coil springs and control arm bushings, warrants close attention to ensure they have not suffered from the increased fatigue associated with this level of road use. The lack of recurring advisories in the recent history is a positive indicator of consistent upkeep. However, the rapid increase in mileage since late 2024 means you must verify that the service history matches the recorded odometer readings to confirm the engine and turbocharger have received appropriate lubrication and maintenance.
