2015 Volkswagen Crafter 2.0L Diesel · WD65 AEN

The 2023‑11‑15 MOT at 173,299 miles passed, yet the vehicle cannot be considered fully roadworthy because the 2022‑10‑27 test at 133,834 miles recorded fractured rear chassis sections on both sides, indicating a serious loss of structural rigidity that remains unresolved. The recent pass does not erase earlier structural failures, so the overall roadworthiness remains questionable. Mileage has risen from 54,413 miles in November 2018 to 173,299 miles in November 2023, a gain of roughly 15,754 miles per year, far above the average for a 2015 model and suggesting heavy use or prolonged operation without significant idle time. A buyer should therefore inspect the chassis for any signs of repaired or ongoing rust, examine the rear suspension mounting points for cracks or welds, verify the condition of the off‑side front brake pipe and the rear prop shaft joint, check brake disc and caliper wear for binding or excessive play, and assess tyre condition and tread depth, especially the near‑side front tyre noted as worn close to the legal limit.
