Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Given the mileage exceeding 229,000 miles, any potential buyer should prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection by a specialist. You should specifically ask for evidence of recent work regarding the steering rack and suspension components, as the 2023 MOT failure highlighted issues with both the steering rack inner joints and front wheel bearings.
Negotiate the price based on the high mileage and the frequency of advisories. Check the service history meticulously to see if major components like the turbocharger, fuel injectors, or timing belt have been replaced, as these are critical on high-mileage 2.0L diesel engines. Ensure all recent MOT advisories, such as the suspension ball joint play, have been addressed.
As a 2.0L diesel van, running costs will be primarily driven by fuel consumption and commercial usage patterns. Expect typical diesel prices to be the main variable, alongside potential high maintenance costs due to the vehicle's age and mileage.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2014 Crafter vary depending on the specific payload and engine configuration, but buyers should budget for higher insurance premiums if used for business. Given the recent history of tyre and exhaust issues, expect more frequent consumables replacement costs.
A primary focus should be on the underside of the vehicle. The 2024 MOT recorded slight play in both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm ball joints, and the 2023 test identified play in the steering rack inner joints. Inspect these areas for any signs of movement or noise.
Additionally, check the exhaust system thoroughly. An exhaust leak was recorded in both 2023 and 2024, which could indicate a deteriorating manifold or exhaust pipework. Finally, inspect the tyres and wheels, noting the previous history of cuts to the ply and nails in the tyres, to ensure the current set is safe and compliant.
This 2014 Volkswagen Crafter has covered 229,011 miles since its first registration in September 2014, which is very high for its age. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, including exhaust leaks and suspension component wear. While it passed its most recent test in August 2024, the cumulative record indicates a vehicle that has undergone significant wear and tear.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Volkswagen Crafter to provide a comparative benchmark.
