2020 Volkswagen Crafter Recovery Truck – 13,XXX Miles – 1 of 1 Build
Here we have our 2020 Volkswagen Crafter 3.5T Recovery Truck project with just 13,xxx miles.
This vehicle has been many years in the making, which explains the exceptionally low mileage – it has not been used in service. Despite this, it has been serviced every year in our ownership to full VAG specifications.
We are a VAG Authorised Workshop.

Overview
This Crafter started life as a standard Luton van and has been professionally converted into a high-spec recovery vehicle, built without compromise.
A full lightweight aluminium recovery bed (approx. 220kg) was fitted late last year (10/2025) and has never had a vehicle winched or loaded onto it.
The bed was designed and built to our exact specifications by RBG Bodies.
