1989 Volkswagen Caravelle 1.9L Petrol · F762 NPG

The vehicle emerged from its most recent MOT on 4 August 2025 at 108,036 miles with a Pass, confirming current roadworthiness. The sequence of three consecutive passes following a single failure in April 2023 indicates a stable maintenance pattern, with no evidence of deteriorating components across the recorded tests. Mileage has risen modestly over the past four years: from 107,446 miles on 21 April 2022 to 108,036 miles on 4 August 2025, an increase of just 590 miles. This equates to roughly 150 miles per annum, far below the average for a vehicle of this vintage and suggesting limited exposure to wear‑inducing conditions. No abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps appear in the log, reinforcing the impression of gentle, infrequent use. The 21 April 2023 failure, despite the absence of listed defects, signals that a minor issue was identified and remedied before the subsequent test three days later. A prospective buyer should therefore give particular attention to the brake system – inspecting pads, discs and caliper operation for any signs of uneven wear or binding – and to the suspension, checking bushings, coil springs and mounting points for corrosion or fatigue. Visual examination of the bodywork for structural rust, especially around wheel arches and chassis rails, remains prudent given the vehicle’s age. A thorough in‑person assessment of tyre tread depth, condition of wiper blades and the state of exhaust emissions components will complete the due‑diligence, ensuring that the low‑mileage, well‑maintained record translates into a reliable purchase.
