2024 Volkswagen Crafter Cr35 Startline TDI

CarHunch is tracking 1,583 2024 Volkswagen Crafter Cr35 Startline TDI vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This Crafter is alarming on first test — only 40% pass on their first MOT, less than half the UK average of 80%. The dangerous defect rate is mercifully low at 0.1%, so safety isn't the issue; the problem is systematic: these vans are arriving at test with defects that shouldn't be there at delivery.

At an average mileage of 17,492 miles, these vehicles are relatively low-mileage but clearly not being properly checked or prepped before handover. With zero failures and zero advisories recorded on average, the data suggests MOT testers are finding specific build or setup faults rather than wear — a red flag for quality control on new stock. Before committing to a Crafter, insist on a pre-delivery inspection by an independent VW specialist and get all test findings in writing.

What to check before buying a 2024 Volkswagen Crafter Cr35 Startline TDI

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
