2009 Volkswagen Crafter CR35 109 MWB 2.5L Diesel · VEZ 8573

This 2009 Volkswagen Crafter presents an exceptionally clean MOT record, with no defects or advisories recorded across all tests from 2019 to the most recent pass in January 2025. The trend is stable and indicates consistent roadworthiness with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged. The January 2025 failure, which occurred nine days before the pass at a similar mileage, likely stemmed from an administrative or minor rectifiable item rather than a genuine mechanical defect, as the pass test immediately afterward shows a clean sheet. The recorded mileage of 66,222 miles after 17 years equates to roughly 3,895 miles per year, which is low for a light commercial vehicle. The gaps between tests show steady, modest use: 24,231 miles in October 2019, 44,821 miles in December 2021, 58,148 miles in September 2023, and then 66,222 miles in January 2025. The annual mileage has remained consistent at around 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year between tests, suggesting the vehicle was used regularly but not heavily. No sudden jumps or long periods of inactivity are evident from the mileage pattern. Given the absence of any recorded faults, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. Focus on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components, as these are common wear items on a Crafter of this age, even with low mileage. Check for corrosion on structural chassis members and brake pipes, particularly if the vehicle has stood for extended periods. The clean history implies the previous owner maintained basic upkeep, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is prudent to verify the condition of consumables like tyres, wiper blades, and the exhaust system, none of which were flagged in the MOT record.
