2012 VOLKSWAGEN CADDY1.6L Diesel

The Volkswagen Caddy presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 159,949 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 5 November 2024 at 157,749 miles. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across the five-year record, and the upkeep pattern suggests consistent annual testing with no outstanding advisories. Recorded mileage sits at 159,949 against a 2012 registration, equating to roughly 11,425 miles per year and matching typical use for this age of light commercial vehicle. The gap between the 2022 test at 152,174 miles and the 2023 test at 154,799 miles added only 2,625 miles, while the 2024 to 2025 period added 2,200 miles. The history is sparse but clean, with the sole blemish being a fail on 31 October 2024 at 157,686 miles that recorded no defects, rectified by a pass four days later at marginally higher mileage, implying an administrative or emissions retest rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's 14-year age and high cumulative mileage. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet standing moisture and unrecorded wear on consumables remain plausible on a Caddy of this era. Given the absence of advisories across all passes, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The November 2025 test falling within eight months of the current date confirms the record is recent, and no immediate mechanical red flags emerge from the official data.
