Van Specifications
Description
After 25 years of selling and converting Volkswagen campervans I have now retired, this was our final build which has been my personal/demo van for the last year. My wife and I are planning to travel further a field for the next couple of years so sadly it's time to part company with our campervan. She was built with everything that I felt important from what I've learnt in my campervans time.
This has the ability for Offgrid living, well insulated for the winter with large solar panel and lithium battery. Diesel or electric fired heating and hot water, also diesel hob meaning there is no gas on board. Off road tyres for grip on those slippery fields, side steps for easier access and rally flaps for the muddy country roads.
Thule wind out awning with optional storm straps. Some nice graphics externally, also black gloss slide pods, makes her look the part. She has a good sized garage/storage area in the rear, below the bed.. which is 6x5 foot plus into the insulated side pods and has a lovely comfy mattress.
For extra storage this bed will also completely fold away into the pods for full height storage in rear area. The garage area is also heated and when on mains hook up has 240v sockets to charge e-bikes or similar. Lots of cupboard space in the rear also including stowed chemical toilet and also a hot/cold pumped external shower..
Inside the van we have 5 travelling seats with a safety tested double rear seat which converts, with the front seats swivelled, to an extra bed. Good quality gloss white light weight ply cupboards with gloss black worktops, plenty of lighting, USB sockets, high level lockers, wardrobe, slide out pantry drawer, lower level kitchen drawers. 12v fridge with icebox which, along with the hob, can be accessed from outside or inside the van. Pumped hot and cold water sink.
Something rather nice for music lovers is the addition of onesub Bluetooth sub/amp and additional speaker to rear which play from the head unit in cab or stand alone via Bluetooth when camping. There are two good size opening roof lights, one above bed and one above living area. Safari/Caravan window fitted to sliding door and sliding window next to rear seat, all with blinds and fly screens.
Stowable table. In the cab she has air conditioning, Kenwood media unit with CarPlay/App Connect, height adjustable drivers seat with armrest, double passenger seat with folding armrest/cupbolder. All front seats swivel..
I think I have covered everything, she has a good service history plus we changed Cambelt and clutch when we bought her. Price will include spare key and also a 12 month 'Customer Protect' motor home warranty. Please do get in touch if you have any questions or wish to view.
About the VOLKSWAGEN CRAFTER
Looking for a robust and reliable workhorse for your business? The used Volkswagen Crafter offers exceptional payload, generous load volume, and a comfortable cab, making it a popular choice for couriers, tradespeople, and delivery companies across the UK. With a strong reputation for German engineering, a used Crafter can be a savvy investment, but knowing what to look for is crucial. This guide provides comprehensive, UK-specific advice on buying a pre-owned Volkswagen Crafter.
Used Volkswagen Crafter Price Guide (UK 2025/26)
Used Crafter prices vary significantly based on age, mileage, condition, and specification. The following table provides typical estimated price ranges for well-maintained models in the UK market:
| Model Year | Mileage (est.) | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|---|
| 2016-2018 (1st Gen) | 100,000-180,000 | £8,500 - £14,000 |
| 2019-2021 (2nd Gen) | 50,000-120,000 | £16,000 - £26,500 |
| 2022 onwards (2nd Gen) | 20,000-60,000 | £27,000 - £39,000 |
Key Specifications (2nd Generation, 2017 onwards)
- Payload: Typically from 800kg up to 1,735kg for the heaviest models (e.g., CR35, CR50 variants).
- Load Volume: Ranges from 9.9m³ (L3H2) to an impressive 18.4m³ (L5H4).
- Dimensions (L3H2): Approximately 5,986mm (length), 2,040mm (width), 2,590mm (height).
- Engine Options: Predominantly 2.0-litre TDI diesel engines.
- 102 PS (75 kW)
- 122 PS (90 kW)
- 140 PS (103 kW) - Most common and often recommended.
- 177 PS (130 kW) - Bi-turbo, offers strong performance.
- First generation models sometimes featured a 2.5-litre TDI.
- Euro Standard: Second generation models (2017 onwards) are all Euro 6 compliant, crucial for ULEZ/CAZ. First generation models (pre-2017) are typically Euro 5.
What to Look For When Buying Used
The Crafter is generally robust, but vigilance is key:
- Common Faults:
- DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): Essential for Euro 6. Short urban journeys without reaching operating temperature can clog the DPF. Check for warning lights or sluggish performance.
- EGR Valve: Can also suffer from carbon build-up, leading to poor running.
- Turbo Lag/Failure: Especially on higher mileage examples. Listen for unusual noises or lack of power.
- Clutch and Gearbox: Test comprehensively. Listen for grinding or difficulty engaging gears, particularly in manual variants subjected to heavy stop-start work.
- AdBlue System: The AdBlue tank or pump can develop faults. Ensure there are no warning lights on the dash.
- Timing Belt/Chain:
- Original 2.5-litre TDI engines (older 1st Gen) use a timing belt, due every 75,000 miles or 4 years.
- The 2.0-litre TDI engines (common on 2nd Gen and later 1st Gen) use a timing belt with a recommended change interval of 130,000 miles or 5 years. Always check service history for this crucial item.
- Rust Spots: Less prevalent on the galvanised 2nd Gen, but still check around wheel arches, door bottoms, and sills, particularly on older models or those used in coastal areas.
- Load Area Condition: Damage here can indicate rough usage. Check bulkhead integrity and floor condition.
Running Costs For Businesses
- Typical Insurance Group: Crafters typically fall into insurance groups 35-45 (van groups), depending on engine, payload, and trim level. Expect annual premiums from £800 to £1,500+ for comprehensive business cover.
- Fuel Economy: Real-world figures vary, but expect:
- 140PS 2.0 TDI FWD: 30-38 MPG (urban/mixed driving).
- 177PS 2.0 TDI RWD/4Motion: 26-35 MPG (urban/mixed driving).
- Servicing: Volkswagen offers flexible servicing, but expect major services every 2 years or 30,000 miles. Budget £300-£600 for a major service, more if major components (e.g., DPF, AdBlue pump) need replacing.
- ULEZ/CAZ Compliance: All 2nd generation Crafters (2017 onwards) with 2.0 TDI Euro 6 engines are ULEZ/CAZ compliant and exempt from charges in UK Clean Air Zones. Older 1st generation models (pre-2017) may not be. Always confirm the Euro standard on the V5C.
Is the Volkswagen Crafter Right For Your Business?
The Crafter is an excellent choice for businesses requiring a large, dependable van with considerable payload and load volume. It suits:

- Tradespeople: Plumbers, electricians, builders needing to carry heavy tools and materials.
- Delivery companies: High cargo capacity for parcels and palletised goods.
- Motorhome converters: Its robust chassis is a popular base.
