VOLKSWAGEN CADDY2007 · 1.9L Diesel

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend with no recorded defects across its last three successful tests. The most recent pass on 3 February 2023 at 169,629 miles indicates the car met the minimum legal roadworthiness standards at that time. However, the MOT record is now over three years out of date relative to July 2026, meaning the current mechanical state is unknown and the vehicle is likely untaxable and illegal to drive. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It covered 13,693 miles between March 2021 and February 2022, followed by a significant drop in usage to 3,564 miles between February 2022 and February 2023. This suggests a shift in how the vehicle was used or a period of relative inactivity toward the end of its recorded history. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. While the MOT history is clean of advisories, a 19-year-old Volkswagen Caddy is highly susceptible to structural corrosion and rust on the sills and floor pan. The lack of recorded faults may reflect a lenient tester rather than a perfect vehicle, especially given the age and mileage. Check for perished rubber bushings, leaking shock absorbers, and the condition of the brake discs. Long periods of standing can lead to binding calipers or pitted discs. Verify the current tyre tread and date codes, as rubber degrades over time regardless of mileage. A full service history should be requested to confirm if the timing belt and water pump were replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals.
