2018 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · GL18 OCR

The 2025‑11‑04 MOT at 114,679 miles confirms continued roadworthiness, with the tester recording zero defects and no advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend despite the vehicle’s high annual mileage. The mileage trajectory shows an average annual usage of about 14,335 miles, well above typical expectations for a vehicle of this age, and the intervals between tests reveal accelerating usage: from 61,947 miles in August 2022 to 76,317 miles by July 2023, a gain of 14,370 miles in one year, followed by 9,823 miles to November 2024 and a further 28,539 miles to the latest test. A buyer should therefore scrutinise the suspension system, focusing on rear suspension bushes and front coil springs for wear or binding, and examine the condition of brake discs and calipers for scoring or seizure, as high mileage can accelerate component fatigue despite the clean test record. Particular attention to structural rust around wheel arches, chassis rails and the exhaust system is also advisable. Given the absence of recorded defects, the vehicle appears well maintained, but the pronounced mileage increase suggests heightened wear on consumables and mechanical parts; a thorough visual inspection of the underbody, suspension components and braking system is essential before purchase.
