Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough mechan
Before committing to a purchase, you must verify that the issues identified during the September 2025 MOT failure—specifically the inoperative Engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) and the excessive exhaust emissions—have been professionally rectified. Ask for documented evidence of the repairs, such as invoices for sensor replacements or emissions system cleaning.
Given the 2024 advisory for an oil leak, check the engine bay and undercarriage for any signs of residual oil or active weeping. Because this is a commercial vehicle (CR35), check the load area and suspension components for signs of heavy use, as high mileage on a diesel van often correlates with significant working lives.
As a 2.0L diesel Euro 6 vehicle, this Crafter is designed for efficiency in commercial settings, though fuel costs will depend heavily on payload and driving style. Being Euro 6 compliant, it should be compatible with most UK Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ).
Maintenance costs for this model can be higher than a standard passenger car due to the complexity of diesel emission systems (DPF/AdBlue). Expect typical commercial vehicle servicing intervals. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are likely to fall between £2,500 and £3,500 depending on annual mileage.
Focus heavily on the engine management and exhaust system. The 2025 MOT failure specifically cited an inoperative MIL and emissions exceeding limits; ensure the dashboard warning lights function correctly and that the engine runs smoothly without excessive smoke.
Secondly, inspect the area around the engine for any signs of the oil leak noted in the 2024 MOT. Finally, check the headlamp alignment, as the 2025 failure noted the nearside front headlamp aim was too low, which may indicate loose mounting or previous impact.
This 2020 Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Trendline TDI has covered 108,495 miles in approximately six years, which is relatively high mileage for its age. The MOT history shows a mixed record, including an oil leak advisory in 2024 and a significant failure in late 2025 involving emissions and engine management systems. Although it passed its most recent test, the recent history of technical faults warrants a careful inspection.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Volkswagen Crafter variant to provide a comparative benchmark.
