2014 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · LG64 KPV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in October 2025 at 102,628 miles shows the vehicle passing only two days after failing due to a coolant leak, worn front brake discs, and a damaged windscreen. While the immediate faults were rectified, the recurring nature of brake component issues across multiple years suggests that the previous owner only addressed parts when they reached the point of failure during an inspection. At 102,628 miles, this twelve-year-old Crafter has averaged approximately 8,550 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent use, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between July 2023 and August 2024, and another 6,200 miles covered between August 2024 and October 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to accelerated rubber degradation and fluid ingress. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the cooling system, as the coolant leak flagged in the 2025 test often indicates aging hoses or a water pump failure on these engines. The history shows a clear trend of neglected brake maintenance, with thin pads and worn discs noted in 2023, 2024, and 2025. You should verify the current thickness of the remaining pads and check for scoring or uneven wear on the discs which indicate sticking calipers. Furthermore, the 2024 failure regarding the supplementary restraint system (SRS) warning lamp requires a diagnostic check to ensure the airbag or seatbelt tensioner fault has been permanently resolved and not merely cleared by a code reset.
