Volkswagen Crafter: a class N1 panel van with a 1,968 cm³ four-cylinder diesel, a 3,640 mm wheelbase, a 158 km/h top speed and a 3,500 kg gross weight
The Crafter is Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles' largest van and has run as its own line above the Transporter and Caddy since the 2010s. The register lists an importer as the registration holder, but the vehicle manufacturer is unambiguously Volkswagen, as the model name shows. The line is built in large numbers for the European market, in numerous wheelbase and roof-height variants depending on the intended fit-out.

The four-cylinder diesel engine displaces 1,968 cm³, the wheelbase measures 3,640 mm and the width 2,040 mm. At 2,401 kg kerb weight against a 3,500 kg gross weight, there is ample payload left for cargo, and the 158 km/h design top speed sits in the usual range for a modern diesel of this class.
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 four-wheel layout with a mid-length wheelbase suits both urban delivery work and trade fit-outs with shelving racks in the load area. A variable-geometry turbocharger and particulate-filter exhaust treatment are standard on this engine generation.
When buying a used Crafter of this generation, it is worth checking the dual-mass flywheel and the injectors, both of which wear under high delivery mileage. Corrosion tends to start at the sill and door edges, and a complete service book with documented belt changes should be verified before purchase. The AdBlue tank and its sensors are also worth a look, since a fault there can leave the vehicle unable to continue.
