2022 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · GY72 YON

The 2022 Volkswagen Crafter has a recent MOT failure recorded on 2025-10-16, the same date as a passed inspection, which raises questions about the accuracy of the records. The failure highlights three issues: a front windscreen wiper that does not clear the windscreen effectively, and both front and rear brake pads wearing thin. These defects indicate potential safety risks, particularly with braking performance and visibility. The vehicle’s mileage of 23,068 miles at 4 years old suggests an average of 5,767 miles per year, which is lower than typical usage. This could imply lighter use or periods of inactivity, which might lead to issues like brake pad corrosion or wiper blade degradation due to lack of regular operation. However, the low mileage also means fewer miles on critical components like the drivetrain, which could reduce wear compared to higher-mileage vehicles. The MOT history shows a single failure with specific, repairable issues. There is no evidence of recurring defects beyond the brake pads and wiper, and no prior failures are documented. The trend appears stable, as the vehicle passed its last MOT before the failure, and no patterns of worsening conditions are evident. However, the simultaneous pass and fail entries on the same date create ambiguity, which should be clarified with the seller.
