2015 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · OU65 WUK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 55,094 miles passed, it followed a failure just one day prior involving multiple mechanical and electrical faults. The trend shows that the owner only addresses significant defects once they trigger an MOT failure, as evidenced by the transition from minor advisories to outright failures across three consecutive years. The Crafter has covered very low mileage for its age, recording only 55,094 miles over eleven years, averaging approximately 5,000 miles annually. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components which is reflected in the record. Between November 2023 at 44,409 miles and November 2024 at 48,811 miles, the vehicle covered just 4,402 miles. The presence of perishing tyres and cracking sidewalls in the records suggests the vehicle likely sits for long periods, causing material rot rather than wearing out through tread use. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the lower suspension arm ball joints showed signs of play in 2024 and were flagged as excessively worn by late 2025. The nearside front wheel bearing was previously noted with play in 2023 and should be checked for noise or movement. The front brake discs were noted as worn in the November 2025 test, indicating they are nearing the end of their service despite the low mileage. The tyres represent a recurring area of concern, with multiple entries for cuts reaching the cords and sidewall perishing between 2023 and 2025. Given the history of failed stop lamps and marker lamps, the buyer should verify that all electrical lighting is currently functional. The windscreen should also be inspected for cracks, as it was a known issue in the two most recent tests.
