2010 Volkswagen Crafter 2.5L Diesel · RJ10 XFA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes in recent years. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 60,893 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum standards. This follows a trend of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to avoid major mechanical failures during the MOT testing process. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 16-year-old van, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2025, the vehicle covered only 1,536 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of inactivity. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based parts, such as seals and bushes, which can suffer from age and lack of regular movement. A physical inspection should focus on the effects of low-mileage use on the suspension and braking. The June 2022 test at 58,336 miles flagged a nearside front tyre as worn close to the legal limit and on the edge, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. A buyer should verify the current condition of the tyres and check the steering geometry for excessive play. Given the age of the Crafter, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and underbody members is essential, as rust occurs regardless of how few miles are driven.
