The VOLKSWAGEN CRAFTER VAN SWB (2011-17) CR30 VAN 2.0 TDI DPF SS 136 EU5 6SPD SWB is a short-wheelbase, large commercial van, rather than a passenger car. It sits alongside the Ford Transit and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter in the UK’s work-van market, offering useful load space in a more manageable size than longer versions. Its 136-horsepower diesel engine and six-speed manual gearbox make it suited to tradespeople, delivery operators and small businesses needing a practical everyday workhorse. The shorter body can be easier to park and manoeuvre around town, while the cabin and carrying capacity suit regular working use; it is less appropriate for family motoring or drivers mainly seeking a compact commuter. Mycarcheck.com recorded 24 checks across 12 distinct VINs, so the snapshot is useful but not a huge sample. Checked vans averaged £7,400 privately, 92,000 miles and about 1.6 previous keepers; typical annual mileage was 12,000 among checked examples.
