VOLKSWAGEN CADDY2012 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred consumable component replacement. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 102,084 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories that were absent in previous years. The shift from a clean record in 2022 and 2023 to a series of mechanical warnings suggests a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach where parts are only addressed as they approach failure. The recorded mileage of 102,084 miles over 14 years reflects an average usage of approximately 7,300 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical light commercial use for this model. The data shows consistent usage patterns with roughly 9,000 miles covered between February 2023 and August 2024, and another 9,200 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion in the braking system. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system, as the record shows persistent pitting and scoring on both rear discs along with thinning pads across the two most recent tests. The failure to replace these components between 2024 and 2025 indicates that the hardware may now be requiring immediate attention. Additionally, the missing rear passenger seats and seat belt noted in both 2024 and 2025 suggest the vehicle's interior configuration is incomplete and potentially poorly maintained. The damaged windscreen mentioned in 2025 should also be checked to ensure the crack has not progressed into a position that compromises the glass's structural integrity.
