2010 Volkswagen Crafter 2.5L Diesel · RV10 AED

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-07-07 resulted in a pass, but multiple issues were recorded, including oil and power steering leaks, worn and pitted brake discs, and thin front brake pads. A prior failure on 2026-07-06 revealed similar brake-related faults, alongside electrical and parking brake deficiencies. While the subsequent pass suggests corrective action, recurring brake disc wear and fluid leaks indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The trend shows no significant improvement, with critical components like brakes and suspension remaining under scrutiny. Mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging ~10,786 miles annually over 16 years, aligning with typical patterns. The 2023-10-17 test noted a suspension ball joint with slight play and a near-limit tyre, while 2025-07-16 and 2025-07-15 tests highlighted brake disc wear, corroded brake pipes, and parking brake inefficiency. The 2026 tests occurred just 12 days apart, with the failure preceding the pass, suggesting urgent repairs. No major gaps in testing are evident, but the frequency of brake and fluid-related issues raises concerns about long-term reliability. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system for excessive wear, corrosion, or binding calipers, as well as the suspension components for play or damage. The power steering pump’s seepage and oil leaks warrant checking for fluid levels and potential gasket failures. Electrical systems, including the parking brake mechanism and airbag warning lights, require verification for proper function. Structural integrity should also be assessed, though no corrosion or rust was explicitly flagged in recent records.
