2010 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · OE10 AEZ

The 2010 Volkswagen Caddy demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT record, with a pass on 2025-07-14 at 105,114 miles. However, the vehicle’s history shows two consecutive failures in July 2025 and July 2024, both recorded at identical mileages (105,096 and 96,434 miles respectively), without defect details. This pattern suggests potential inconsistency in testing or administrative errors, as no mechanical issues were documented. The 2023 test at 80,486 miles was a pass, indicating earlier maintenance was adequate. Overall, the trend lacks clear evidence of worsening or improving conditions due to the absence of specific defect reports. The vehicle’s mileage of 105,114 miles over 16 years aligns with an average of 6,570 miles annually, which is typical for its age. Notable gaps exist between the 2023 test (80,486 miles) and the 2024 tests (96,434 miles), a 15,948-mile increase over 13 months, potentially reflecting heavier usage or infrequent MOTs. The 2024–2025 period saw a 8,680-mile rise in 12 months, which could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. The sparse defect data limits analysis of structural or mechanical degradation, though the frequent MOTs suggest regular compliance. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these are common wear points at this mileage. Despite no recorded defects, the repeated failures without explanations warrant scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history and potential hidden issues. Corrosion, particularly in the underbody or chassis, and brake disc thickness should be checked, as well as the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs. The absence of structural integrity reports in the MOT records means a professional inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s safety and reliability.
