2013 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · SF62 HCD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing braking system issues. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 122,356 miles passed, the tester identified corrosion and covered brake pipes on the nearside front, offside front, and offside rear lines. This represents a departure from the clean records seen in the previous two years, indicating that the hydraulic lines are beginning to degrade and require proactive preventative attention. The recorded mileage of 122,356 miles over 13 years reflects an average of approximately 9,412 miles per annum, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows steady usage patterns between 2023 and 2026, with the vehicle covering roughly 18,600 miles in that three-year period. There is a notable gap in records between April 2023 and March 2024 where the vehicle covered over 7,000 miles in a year, leading to the mechanical failure and subsequent pass. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the braking system to ensure the corrosion noted in early early 2026 has not progressed to structural thinning or fluid leaks. The March 2024 failure involving an ABS warning lamp and a worn anti-roll bar linkage suggests that the suspension and electronic sensors are prone to wear. Verify the condition of the suspension bushes and check the ABS sensor wiring for damage, as the history indicates these areas have previously required intervention. Given the presence of corroded pipes, a thorough check of the chassis for structural integrity and further rust is also essential for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
