2009 Volkswagen Crafter 2.5L Diesel · MT09 BSY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 11 December 2025 at 151,269 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in early April 2024 at 148,050 miles, the vehicle passed a retest just eleven days later at a slightly higher mileage without any recorded advisories, suggesting the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified faults. At 151,269 miles, the Crafter has averaged approximately 8,900 miles per year over its seventeen-year life, which aligns with typical usage for this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 5,400 miles covered between January 2022 and March 2023, and another 5,400 miles between March 2023 and April 2024. This steady interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which often leads to seal degradation and brake corrosion in older vans. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as these are common areas of failure on vehicles of this era. Although the recent records are clean of advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look for surface corrosion on the frame members and mounting points. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the drivetrain components and checking for fluid leaks is also essential to ensure the recent MOT passes reflect a fundamentally sound mechanical condition.
