2017 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · SB17 WHP

The Volkswagen Crafter passed its most recent MOT on 2 May 2025 at 224,029 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status and a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The test one minute earlier on the same date failed at 224,028 miles yet listed no defects, a clerical anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Every prior annual test from 4 February 2022 through 5 April 2024 also passed cleanly with zero advisories. The recorded mileage shows heavy use for a 2017 plate. It rose from 144,733 miles in February 2022 to 175,372 miles in March 2023, then 203,115 miles in April 2024, reaching 224,029 miles by May 2025. That averages roughly 24,900 miles per year, well above typical light-commercial norms. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs, though high annual distances imply inevitable wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs absent from the advisories. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the drivetrain and running gear given the 224,029-mile load. The MOT data never flagged corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions issues, but nine years of high-mileage operation stresses steering joints and subframe mounts beyond what a pass certificate captures. Verify service intervals and check for undocumented tyre or wiper replacement, since the record shows no minor advisories that would normally appear on a vehicle this aged. The clean history suggests conscientious test preparation, not a car free of wear.
