2023 Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Trendline TDI 2.0L Diesel · GU23 FHA

The 2026‑03‑16 MOT at 71,893 miles resulted in a pass, indicating the vehicle currently meets the minimum roadworthiness standards, though the test recorded a near‑side rear reflector damaged or defective by up to 50% of its reflecting surface and both front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edges. No earlier MOT entries are available, so the maintenance trend appears stable based on this single recent assessment. At three years of age, the recorded 71,893 miles equates to an average annual mileage of approximately 23,964 miles, which is considerably higher than typical usage for a vehicle of this vintage. The absence of prior MOT records means no gaps in the mileage history can be identified, suggesting continuous operation rather than long periods of standing. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for signs of wear or damage, given the high annual mileage, and verify that the front tyres are within legal tread depth and free of edge wear. Particular attention must be given to the rear reflector, which was recorded as damaged, and to the condition of the brake discs, pads and calipers, as the MOT noted tyre wear but did not assess brake performance. Inspection of the chassis for structural rust and the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks is also advisable.
