2015 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · RF15 YUS

The 2015 Volkswagen Crafter’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-22 at 117,411 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date also shows a failed test with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or repeated testing, though the absence of specific defects in the latest pass indicates the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at that time. Previous tests in 2024 and 2023 similarly showed mixed outcomes without recorded faults, implying a stable maintenance pattern despite the irregularity in test results. The vehicle’s mileage of 117,411 miles aligns with an average of 10,674 annual miles over 11 years, reflecting typical usage for its age. The 2023-05-18 test at 108,026 miles and subsequent 2024-04-23 test at 112,974 miles show gradual accumulation, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage. This steady progression suggests consistent operation rather than periods of inactivity or excessive use. However, the repeated failed tests on identical dates (2025-05-22 and 2024-04-23) without defect details raise questions about the reliability of the MOT history. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, to assess wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these are common issues in high-mileage vans. Structural integrity should also be checked for corrosion, especially around the chassis and body seams, as salt exposure or poor maintenance can accelerate rust. Despite the MOT records lacking specific faults, the vehicle’s history underscores the need for a thorough mechanical check to confirm its condition.
