Volkswagen Crafter: a compact class N1 panel-van chassis with a 3,640 mm wheelbase, 158 km/h top speed and a 3,500 kg gross weight
The register entry lists Volkswagen/modesto as the registration holder for this Crafter, registered in 2023, while the model name unambiguously identifies Volkswagen as the manufacturer. The 3,640 mm wheelbase corresponds to the shorter of the range's two common variants and is often chosen for vehicles with a mixed duty profile between city centre deliveries and trips to surrounding areas.

The four-cylinder diesel engine displaces 1,968 cm³, with a length of 5,990 mm and a width of 2,040 mm. Kerb weight of 2,356 kg leaves 1,144 kg of payload against the 3,500 kg gross weight, and the design top speed is 158 km/h.
As a class N1 panel van, the Crafter can be driven on a category B licence as long as the gross weight stays under 3.5 t. With this combination of a short wheelbase and a solid payload reserve, the vehicle suits both daily delivery work and occasional larger loads at full capacity, without needing a longer chassis.
When buying a Crafter with this wheelbase, checking the front suspension matters, since it takes particular strain from uneven loading in delivery work. The dual-mass flywheel and injectors wear under high mileage, and the air conditioning should be tested for adequate cooling output, since it works harder in daily use with the doors opened frequently at every delivery stop.
