2013 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · VO63 VLD

The 2013 Volkswagen Crafter remains roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 27 January 2026 at 198,821 miles, passing with no defects recorded. The preceding test a day earlier failed, yet the examiner noted no faults, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past year. No recurring issues appear in the record, suggesting consistent upkeep by previous owners. Mileage growth is steep. From 187,671 miles on 3 January 2025 to 198,821 miles on 27 January 2026 the vehicle accumulated 11,150 miles in just 12 months. The prior year saw a similar increase of 10,766 miles between 29 December 2023 and 3 January 2025. Such high annual mileage for a vehicle of this age implies accelerated wear on consumables and key mechanical components, even though the MOTs have not flagged any defects. A prospective buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play, as high mileage can compromise ride quality. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for wear, glazing or binding, and brake pads should be measured for remaining thickness. Tyres should be checked for tread depth and sidewall condition; wiper blades should be replaced if worn. Look for any corrosion on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, and verify that the exhaust system is free from leaks or rust. These inspections will confirm that the vehicle’s high mileage has not translated into hidden mechanical or structural deficiencies.
