Looking for a reliable, spacious, and well-maintained van to kickstart your dream camper conversion? This Volkswagen Crafter 2.5 TDI is a tried-and-tested workhorse that’s perfect for anyone seeking a dependable base vehicle. With a strong reputation for reliability and a history of excellent maintenance, this Crafter is an unbeatable choice for your next adventure.

Why This Crafter is the Perfect Fit:

• Mileage and History: With just 128,000 miles and a structured maintenance record from its time in service, this van has plenty of life left to offer. Its proven durability makes it a safer bet for long journeys and off-grid living.
• Payload and Weight: Plated at 5,000kg with a current weight of approximately 3,100kg, it boasts an impressive payload of 1,900kg – ideal for heavy-duty camper builds. (Note: This vehicle cannot be downplated to 3,500kg for Category B license holders.)
• Emissions Flexibility: As an older model, it’s suited for those not restricted by low-emission zone regulations. Perfect for rural explorers or those planning long-term living outside urban areas.

What’s Included:

• New MOT:  Recently passed without any advisories and now expires January 2026!
• 6 Brand-New Tyres: High-quality tyres worth up to £600, ensuring safety and performance for your travels.
• Fully Functional Cab: All cab features, including central locking, are in excellent working order.
• Solid Condition: The van’s overall condition is excellent, making it a reliable and hassle-free starting point for conversion.

Service Notes:
While the van is ready to go, we recommend a full service, including a cam-belt replacement, to keep it in top-notch condition. The Police Service, which previously owned the vehicle, noted it’s fine for another 10,000 miles or until September – but for peace of mind, it’s worth doing sooner rather than later.

What Makes This Van Special?
This van is part of an ex-Police fleet, meaning it was meticulously maintained. While some in-house MOTs may not appear online, the mileage has been verified and warranted upon decommissioning.
