2019 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · GF19 JWJ

The 2026‑02‑11 MOT at 129,793 miles confirms the Volkswagen Crafter remains roadworthy, with only a noted oil leak classified as not excessive under test 8.4.1 (a) (i). All previous tests from 2022 through 2025 have also issued pass certificates, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening or improving trend. The mileage trajectory shows steady use: 60,822 miles in February 2022, rising to 83,076 by February 2023, 93,585 in January 2024, 106,246 in March 2025 and the current 129,793 in February 2026. The annual average of roughly 18,500 miles exceeds typical usage for a seven‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting frequent operation and accelerated wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components. Recurring issues flagged in the history include the off‑side front tyre worn close to the legal limit and an off‑side rear nail in tread at the 2023 test, pointing to possible alignment or suspension wear, while the persistent oil leak hints at gasket or seal deterioration. No structural rust or major mechanical failures have been recorded, but the tyre wear pattern and the oil leak merit close attention. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front suspension bushes, coil springs and wheel alignment, examine the rear brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, verify the source and severity of the oil leak, and assess tyre tread depth and sidewall condition. Checking for any hidden corrosion on the chassis and confirming that the exhaust emissions meet the current standards will complete a thorough roadworthiness assessment.
