2012 VOLKSWAGEN CADDY1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record over the last four years. The most recent MOT on 18 April 2023 at 116,391 miles showed no defects, following a clean pass in April 2022 at 112,307 miles. This recent history suggests the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of repair, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues appearing in the latest inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with the mileage rising from 70,611 in August 2016 to 116,391 by April 2023. There are no significant gaps in usage or periods of excessive idling suggested by the data. The progression from 98,144 miles in December 2019 to 116,391 miles in April 2023 indicates regular, predictable driving patterns rather than heavy commercial strain or long-term neglect. A single failure occurred in January 2018 at 85,480 miles due to front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and a non-functioning registration plate lamp. This indicates a minor lapse in basic consumable upkeep at that time, though the subsequent clean tests suggest these issues were rectified. While the recent records are clear, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the tyre tread and sidewalls, as well as the brake discs and pads, to ensure current wear matches the documented history. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical check for corrosion on the underbody and exhaust system is advisable, despite no structural defects being flagged in the recent MOTs. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes or shock absorbers in the last three tests is a positive indicator, but checking the integrity of the drivetrain and suspension components remains a standard precaution for a high-mileage Volkswagen Caddy.
