2022 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · LX22 CFG

The vehicle's most recent MOT status shows an improving maintenance trend following a significant failure in June 2025. While the June 2025 test initially resulted in a failure due to several critical issues, the vehicle passed shortly thereafter at the same mileage of 83,335. This indicates that the owner addressed the immediate mechanical deficiencies, specifically the brake components and washer jets, to meet roadworthiness standards. The recorded mileage of 83,335 miles for a 2022 model indicates heavy usage, averaging approximately 20,834 miles per year. This high annual mileage places increased demand on consumable components and mechanical systems. The MOT history is relatively sparse, providing only a snapshot from June 2025, but the density of faults found during that single test aligns with the wear expected from a high-mileage commercial vehicle. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. Although the June 2025 failure noted front and rear brake pads below the 1.5mm limit and worn or pitted discs, the pass suggests these were replaced or rectified. Nevertheless, checking the remaining pad thickness and inspecting the discs for uneven wear or scoring is essential. The offside front tyre was flagged as being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge in both the failure and the subsequent pass, which may indicate an underlying alignment issue or suspension geometry fault that requires investigation. The windscreen and wiper assembly also showed recurring defects during the June 2025 testing cycle. While the windscreen damage was deemed not to adversely affect the driver's view, the presence of defective wiper blades and misaligned washer jets suggests a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. Beyond the brakes and tyres, a close examination of the suspension bushes and steering components is advisable to ensure the high mileage has not caused excessive play or instability.
