2022 Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Trendline TDI 2.0L Diesel · RJ72 VTA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT test on November 18, 2025. However, the maintenance trend suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach, as components were only addressed once they approached failure thresholds. While the vehicle passed without major defects, the advisories indicate that several safety-critical wear items are now at the end of their immediate operational life. At a recorded mileage of 18,022 miles, this Crafter has covered significantly less ground than the average commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests the vehicle was likely used for light duties or sat for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to rubber degradation in suspension components and corrosion on brake assemblies if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the front axle and tyres. The November 2025 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The advisory regarding thin rear brake pads necessitates a physical check of the entire braking system, including discs to ensure they are not scored or corroded. Given the low mileage, verify that the brake calipers are not seized due to inactivity.
