2017 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · SF17 GDN

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following the test conducted on 20 April 2024 at 96,723 miles. The record indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the most recent inspection resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. While the vehicle failed its initial test on the same day, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass suggest that any issues identified were likely minor administrative or easily corrected faults rather than systemic mechanical failures. The vehicle has covered 96,723 miles over its nine-year lifespan, averaging approximately 10,747 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent with typical commercial vehicle duty cycles. The record shows a notable period of low usage between July 2022 and March 2023, where the odometer increased by fewer than 1,000 miles. Such intervals of inactivity can occasionally lead to seized brake components or battery degradation, though the clean pass certificates from 2023 and 2024 imply these risks have not manifested as test failures. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as these components endure the most stress on a vehicle of this weight class. Although the MOT history is remarkably clean, the lack of recorded advisories does not preclude hidden wear on items like suspension bushes, ball joints, or brake discs that may have been replaced outside of the testing cycle. Check the underside for signs of corrosion on the chassis rails and crossmembers, particularly given the vehicle's age and potential for heavy-duty use. Verify that the service history supports the MOT data, as a clean test record does not always account for the condition of the engine, transmission, or timing belt intervals.
