Extract info from html with Guzzle

I'm trying to extract Vehicle ID with this code:

    $client = new Client();
    $request = $client->get('http://www.truck1.eu/_TEN_auto_1522980_Truck_Chassis_MAN_TGA_18_320_BL_Platou_9_80m_lang_manuelles_Getriebe_Euro_4_Motor.html',  ['allow_redirects' => false]);

    $html = $request->getBody(true);

    $crawler = new Crawler();
    $crawler->addContent($html);
    print $crawler->filterXPath('//*[@id="content"]/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[2]/td')->text();

But for some reason i can't get this working. I'm using Guzzle and DomCrawler from Symfony.

Try this XPath to grab the td next to the th containing the 'Vehicle ID' label (and to avoid some unnecessary ancestral dependencies):

//td[preceding-sibling::th = 'Vehicle ID']
