Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this Crafter, prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The MOT records show that brake pipes have been flagged for corrosion and being covered in grease across several years (2024 and 2025). Ensure that the repairs made to address these issues in March 2025 were carried out professionally and that the pipes are now clear and free from excessive grease or corrosion.
Secondly, ask for specific documentation regarding the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) warning lamp that caused the failure in March 2025. You should confirm whether this was a sensor issue, a wiring fault, or a component replacement. Finally, check the service history to see if the 115,620 miles of usage have been supported by regular oil changes, which is vital for the 1968cc diesel engine.
As a 2.0L diesel van, running costs will be heavily influenced by load weight and driving style. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a commercial vehicle of this size. The tax band and insurance group will depend on the specific weight rating and engine output, but generally, these vehicles fall into medium-to-high insurance groups.
Maintenance costs may be impacted by the recurring issues seen in the MOT history, such as brake pipe replacement and exhaust flexy repairs. Budget for regular servicing and potential upcoming costs related to suspension components, given the anti-roll bar linkage advisories seen in 2024.
Focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history explicitly notes corrosion on the front-to-rear brake pipes and nearside/offside front brake pipes. Inspect these areas to ensure the corrosion has been fully remediated and not just masked with grease.
Additionally, check the exhaust system. The 2024 MOT recorded a slightly blowing front exhaust flexy, so listen for unusual noises during a test drive. Finally, verify that the Electronic Stability Control warning lamp remains off and that no other dashboard warning lights appear when the engine is running and the vehicle is in motion.
This 2014 blue Volkswagen Crafter has covered 115,620 miles since its first registration in May 2014. The MOT history shows a pattern of corrosion-related issues, specifically regarding the brake pipes, which have appeared in multiple tests since 2024. While the 2025 MOT was passed, the history includes a failure for an electronic stability control fault and repeated advisories for brake pipe condition.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Volkswagen Crafter model to provide a comparative benchmark.
