2012 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6L Diesel · DL12 AAN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-07 at 126,106 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the same date shows a failed test with no defects noted, suggesting potential administrative inconsistency or duplicate entries. Previous tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed without issues, confirming no escalating mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures in the last three years implies the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into component longevity. The mileage of 126,106 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 9,008 miles over 14 years, reflecting typical wear for the model. The 2023 test at 118,655 miles shows a 5,883-mile gap before the 2024 test, which could indicate periods of reduced use or infrequent inspections. The 2024 to 2025 increase of 1,568 miles suggests steady operation, but no data exists for the intervening 12 months, leaving potential maintenance gaps unverified. The record lacks anomalies, implying consistent but minimal intervention. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these components often degrade with age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these can develop without MOT failures. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body seams, warrants scrutiny, as rust or fatigue cracks may not trigger immediate failures. The absence of recorded issues does not eliminate risks, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is advisable.
