2012 VOLKSWAGEN CADDY1.7L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-12 recorded a pass at 154,179 miles, though a concurrent failure entry with no defects noted creates ambiguity. Previous tests from 2025-04-08 and 2024-04-10 showed consistent passing with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The absence of critical issues in the last three annual tests suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the duplicate failure entry on the same date as the pass requires clarification. The mileage of 154,179 miles aligns with the vehicle’s 14-year lifespan, averaging ~11,000 miles annually. Gaps between tests are regular, with 10,649 miles added between 2024-04-10 and 2025-04-08, and 9,195 miles between 2025-04-08 and 2026-03-12. No rapid accumulation or extended inactivity periods are evident, suggesting consistent usage. The MOT history lacks recurring faults, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into component wear. A buyer should verify the discrepancy in the 2026-03-12 test records and inspect the exhaust system, as emissions compliance is critical for older vehicles. While no suspension, brake, or structural issues were flagged, the absence of detailed advisories means potential wear on consumables like tyres or brake pads may not be documented. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on these areas, alongside checking for corrosion or hidden damage not captured in the MOT data.
