The fault
How you spot it
The automatic gearbox starts jerking and shifting late above 150,000 km, and sometimes cannot find a gear at all. In a van the load on the gearbox is significantly higher than in a car, and most Crafters are run without an oil change, even though it is not a lifetime fill here. The cost of the repair is among the highest on this list.

How we know
Information, not an expert opinion
We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.
- A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
- A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
- You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
