2004 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · BW04 AAF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent string of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 145,388 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the current owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard where all mechanical and structural components meet the DVSA safety requirements without immediate need for repair. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 123,858 miles and the September 2025 test at 145,388 miles, the vehicle covered 21,530 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals or seized components. The lack of significant mileage spikes supports a predictable wear rate on consumables. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, given the age of the vehicle. While the records do not flag corrosion, the Volkswagen Caddy of this era is prone to rust in the sills, rear wheel arches, and floor pans. The buyer should also check for signs of wear on the suspension bushes and dampers, as these components often degrade before reaching a formal MOT failure. Verifying the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs is also advisable to ensure the lack of recorded advisories reflects the actual mechanical state.
