Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 3 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 3 people together: the advert records 3 seats, including the driver.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 78,857 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You are buying your first car or have a tight insurance budget: Spanner flags a higher insurance band. Get your own quote before paying a deposit.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The 2016 Crafter is a true panel van (not a passenger car) most commonly fitted with VW’s 2.0TDI engines and a manual gearbox — robust but prone to DPF/EGR soot issues if used mainly on short urban hops. Vans come in multiple lengths and roof heights (common combos: L2/L3 and H1/H2), and payloads typically sit around the 1,000–1,400 kg range depending on spec. Commercial insurance and DOE testing are handled separately in Ireland, so budget for those costs and check that any declared payload/weight matches the plate.
- Clutch feel and bite point (slippage or heavy wear common on high-mileage work vans).
- DPF / EGR condition and regeneration history — look for repeated warning lights or recent DPF cleaning.
- Rear suspension and axle for sagging or overloaded springs, plus signs of chassis/frame corrosion under the load area.
- Cargo floor, bulkhead and side-door rollers/runners for heavy wear, repairs or corrosion from previous load/crew use.
