Our Verdict
This 2020 Volkswagen Crafter CR35 Trendl
Given the recorded mileage of 156,690 miles as of April 2026, this Crafter has been heavily utilised since its registration in January 2020. Buyers should carefully examine the service history alongside the V5C logbook to verify how frequently maintenance and consumable items (such as brakes, suspension components, and the timing belt) have been addressed. Ensure all electrical systems, including the headlamps and reversing lights that previously triggered an MOT failure in January 2023, are fully operational during your viewing.
When negotiating, use the high mileage as leverage to check if major components like the clutch, dual-mass flywheel, or turbocharger have been replaced. A commercial vehicle of this age and mileage often undergoes intensive multi-driver use, so inspect the interior cabin wear, seat bolsters, and the loading bay for structural damage or heavy scuffing. Always request a comprehensive professional inspection to complement the clear recent MOT history.
As a large commercial panel van powered by a 1968.0cc diesel engine, fuel economy will vary heavily depending on payload weight and motorway versus urban driving cycles. Commercial vehicles in the CR35 weight category fall under standard UK light commercial vehicle (LCV) VED rates, which should be verified directly via the DVLA.
Insurance will likely fall into a higher commercial group due to the vehicle's size and business use profile, though individual quotes will depend on driver history and company underwriting. Maintenance costs for a high-mileage Volkswagen Crafter can be significant if suspension arms, injectors, or emission control systems require attention. Expect an estimated annual running cost between £1,800 and £2,400, covering fuel, standard LCV tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Pay close attention to the areas flagged in the vehicle's history. The January 2023 test recorded a failure for a nearside dipped headlamp and an inoperative reversing lamp; check that all lighting units and associated wiring harnesses are free from moisture ingress or corrosion. Although the 2024, 2025, and 2026 MOT tests recorded zero defects or advisories, high-mileage commercial vehicles require rigorous checks underneath.
Inspect the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, brake discs, and pads for excessive wear, as these are common wear items on heavy-duty vans approaching 160,000 miles. Check the 1968.0cc diesel engine bay for any signs of oil leaks, listen for unusual turbo whine or rough idling on cold startup, and ensure the manual or automatic transmission shifts smoothly across all gears without slipping.
First registered in January 2020, this silver Volkswagen Crafter is powered by a 1968.0cc diesel engine in the Trendline TDI specification. The MOT record shows five tests in total, starting with a failure on 19th January 2023 for a non-working nearside dipped headlamp and an inoperative reversing lamp, which was promptly rectified later that same day. Subsequent tests in March 2024 (142,164 miles), March 2025 (150,611 miles), and April 2026 (156,690 miles) all resulted in clean passes with no advisories recorded.
Aggregate reliability data specific to the Crafter CR35 Trendline TDI is not available, but high-mileage examples heavily depend on strict adherence to commercial service intervals.
