2017 Volkswagen Caddy 1.4L Petrol · DK17 AHP

The 2017 Volkswagen Caddy presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend across its recorded history. The most recent test on 10 July 2025 at 25,259 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes since 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any point in the DVSA data, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test scope during this period. The mileage pattern shows consistently low use for a nine-year-old van. The record opened at 15,119 miles on 25 August 2021 and rose to 18,881 miles by 12 July 2022, then only 19,042 miles on 16 June 2023, suggesting the vehicle stood largely idle across that year. Annual accumulation stayed minimal thereafter, reaching 21,608 miles in June 2024 and 25,259 miles in July 2025, an average of roughly 2,800 miles per year. The sparse, fault-free history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still verify in person the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the long stationary periods, as corrosion and seized components can develop on low-mileage vehicles left unused. The absence of recorded advisories means no specific structural or mechanical risks are flagged, but a pre-purchase inspection of underbody integrity and tyre sidewall cracking remains prudent. Given the clean test sequence and light use, the previous keeper appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance without lapse. The Caddy's record supports a sound mechanical baseline, though physical inspection should confirm no hidden rust or perished rubbers from extended standing.
