2018 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · GK18 WMC

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 7 April 2026 at 49,634 miles. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, though the most recent inspection flagged front tyre tread at 3mm on both the nearside and offside, indicating they are nearing the legal limit. While the vehicle has passed its last two annual tests without defects, the presence of tyre wear advisories suggests a shift from the clean records seen in 2024 and 2025 toward more routine consumable maintenance requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a light-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year over its eight-year lifespan. The record shows steady progression from 19,238 miles in March 2021 to the current 49,634 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or evidence of sudden, heavy mileage spikes that would suggest commercial over-use. This gradual increase supports the likelihood that the mechanical components have not been subjected to extreme high-frequency duty cycles. A prospective buyer should focus on the drivetrain and braking systems during a physical inspection. The April 2024 failure specifically identified a split offside front outer drive shaft CV boot, which required rectification to prevent dirt ingress. Although this was resolved, checking the integrity of all CV boots and drive shaft joints is prudent. The 2022 test highlighted significant wear across all four brake pads and both sets of brake discs, indicating that the braking system undergoes periodic replacement of these components. The recent tyre advisory necessitates an immediate check of the front tyre condition and remaining tread depth. While the history does not show recurring structural or suspension issues, the previous failures for brake wear and CV boot damage suggest that while the vehicle is well-maintained, it follows a pattern of addressing wear-and-tear items as they reach their service limits. Checking for any signs of fluid leaks around the drive shafts or uneven tyre wear would be a sensible precaution.
