2018 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · ND18 AFJ

The 2018 Volkswagen Crafter presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 29 September 2025 at 91,255 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged at any stage. The only blemish is a pair of administrative failures in 2023 and 2025 where the tester recorded no defects yet issued a fail, suggesting documentation or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. Mileage accumulation tracks at a typical rate for an eight-year-old van. The record shows 73,597 miles on 3 July 2023, rising to 83,586 by 30 September 2024 and 91,255 by September 2025, equating to roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles per year in the measured windows. A gap exists between the July 2023 and September 2024 tests spanning over fourteen months, but the mileage delta of under 10,000 miles indicates no abnormal accumulation or standing period severe enough to flag. The clean defect history gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. Buyers should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and light commercial duty cycle. The two zero-defect failures warrant a check of the DVSA refusal reasons, as they may reflect identity or paperwork mismatches rather than roadworthiness concerns. Given the sparse but clean record, previous keepers maintained basic test compliance without accruing advisories. Physical verification of tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions under load, and drivetrain condition remains prudent before purchase.
