2020 Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Trendline TDI 2.0L Heavy oil · GL20 AAN

The Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Trendline TDI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 12 September 2024 at 50,567 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the July 2023 tests showed a clean pass on 19 July 2023 at 48,294 miles, following a failed attempt on 18 July 2023 at the same mileage with no defects formally logged. The absence of advisories across these entries indicates no escalating mechanical concerns within the recorded window. The odometer stood at 48,294 miles for the July 2023 tests and rose to 50,567 miles by September 2024, a gain of just 2,273 miles over fourteen months. Against a six-year lifespan and an average of roughly 8,428 miles per year, this reflects light recent use. The record is sparse, with only three test events logged and a one-day gap between the 2023 fail and pass, suggesting the initial failure may have been administrative or a retest after a minor correction rather than a substantive defect. Given the clean history, a buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as MOT passes with no advisories do not preclude latent wear invisible at test. The low annual mileage implies the van may have stood idle for periods, raising the risk of corrosion on underbody components and seized calipers through lack of use. Verify the 18 July 2023 failure reason with DVSA, since no defects appear on the record yet the test was not a pass. Confirm service history matches the low mileage to rule out clocking or omitted interim tests before committing to purchase.
