2013 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · BX13 AAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in June 2026 with 23,440 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of significant mechanical neglect between 2023 and 2025. While the vehicle suffered multiple failures related to braking components and tyres previously, the two most recent tests indicate that these primary issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently in a stable state. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between 2019 and 2021, where the vehicle covered only 2,405 miles in two years. More recent usage has remained minimal, with only 779 miles recorded between the June and July 2025 tests. This low mileage suggests the van sits stationary for long periods, which often correlates with the recurring issues of age-related degradation seen in the service history. A buyer must inspect the braking system in detail, as the record shows a persistent pattern of pitted and scored discs across all four wheels from 2022 through to 2025. The 2025 failure specifically identified contaminated offside front brake pads, which often occurs when calipers seize or suffer from prolonged inactivity. The buyer should also check the brake hoses for any further ferrule corrosion, a defect first flagged in 2024, to ensure the corrosion has not progressed despite the pass. Rubber components and tyres require close attention. The history reveals multiple instances of perishing tyres and sidewall damage consistent with low-use, long-term storage. The previous report of a distorted nearside rear road wheel in 2024 should be verified for vibrations or further structural stress. Given the low mileage, the physical condition of suspension bushes and exhaust heat shield rot is more critical than checking for drivetrain wear.
