Volkswagen Crafter: a long class N1 panel van with a 130 kW diesel, 6,970 mm length, 161 km/h top speed and a 3,500 kg gross weight
The register entry lists Volkswagen/partner as the registration holder for this Crafter, registered between 2018 and 2019, while the model name unambiguously identifies Volkswagen as the manufacturer. At 130 kW, this example carries the strongest engine tune of the range recorded in this collection, well above the 85 to 103 kW of the weaker versions.

The four-cylinder diesel engine displaces 1,968 cm³ and produces 130 kW. At 6,970 mm long, on a 4,460 mm wheelbase and 2,320 mm wide, this is one of the range's longer versions, yet fitted with four wheels rather than the twin rear wheels of the heaviest-bodied variants. Kerb weight of 2,805 kg leaves 695 kg of payload against the 3,500 kg gross weight, and the design top speed is 161 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. The above-average engine power combined with considerable length points to use with frequent motorway runs, where a reserve of power for climbing gradients under load matters.
When buying a more powerful Crafter of this generation, the condition of the turbocharger matters, since it works harder at this power level than the weaker engine variants. The dual-mass flywheel and injectors wear under high mileage on long-haul work, and the clutch deserves a test drive under full payload to catch slippage early.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
