2011 VOLKSWAGEN CADDY1.6L Diesel

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 23 June 2026 at 117,660 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a current road‑worthiness status of pass. Earlier failures on brake pads and rear‑brake binding observed in the 4 November 2016 test have not re‑appeared, and the constant‑velocity boot deteriorations flagged in February 2024 and June 2025 are absent from the latest report, suggesting an improving maintenance trend after those issues were addressed. Mileage has risen to 117,660 miles over fifteen years, averaging roughly 7,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The odometer shows steady increments, with a notable surge between February 2020 (55,319 miles) and February 2022 (77,043 miles), reflecting a period of higher utilisation rather than any unexplained gaps. No prolonged periods of inactivity are evident, and the recorded figures remain consistent across successive tests. A prospective buyer should verify that the front drive‑shaft CV boots are intact and free of oil leaks, as past severe deterioration could re‑emerge if the boots were only superficially repaired. Inspection of the rear exhaust silencer for lingering corrosion is advisable, given the 2025 advisory. Tyre condition should be confirmed, especially for any cracking or perishing that may have developed since the 2025 rear‑tyre notes. Brake pads and discs merit a visual and thickness check to ensure the earlier thin‑pad issue has not resurfaced, and the rear‑brake system should be examined for any residual binding. Finally, a cursory review of suspension bushes, coil springs, and chassis rust will help confirm that no hidden structural deterioration has been overlooked.
