2018 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · HIB 3280

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance. The most recent test on 20 November 2025 at 99,745 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates that the mechanical and wear issues identified in previous years have been addressed, as the vehicle has since maintained a clean record through the last three annual inspections. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year over its eight-year life. There was a significant jump of 14,933 miles recorded between October 2022 and December 2023, followed by a slower accumulation of roughly 4,000 miles per year in the subsequent periods. This high mileage suggests the vehicle was used for regular long-distance commuting or commercial work, which typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension compared to low-mileage city vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension geometry, given the recurring faults noted in the 2021 and 2022 tests. Those records repeatedly flagged pitted and scored front and rear brake discs, as well as worn anti-roll bar bushes and uneven tyre wear. While the recent tests passed without defect, the history of these issues suggests that the owner only replaces components once they reach failure limits. Verify the current thickness of the brake pads and check for any play in the suspension bushings to ensure the previous wear patterns have not returned.
