2017 VOLKSWAGEN CADDY2.0L Diesel

The Volkswagen Caddy presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 6 September 2025 at 66,876 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. Maintenance trend across the available history reads stable, with the lone aberrations being two consecutive failed tests in September 2024 that listed no defects. Those anomalies did not translate into recorded mechanical faults, and the vehicle subsequently passed on the same date. The absence of advisories across five years suggests consistent upkeep or at least no flagged deterioration. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old van. The record shows 52,823 miles at the 16 September 2023 test, rising to 59,946 miles on 15 September 2024 and 59,964 miles the next day, then 66,876 miles by 6 September 2025. That equates to roughly 7,000 miles per annum, reflecting gentle annual accumulation with no sudden jumps. The supplied MOT entries are sparse and entirely free of consumable wear notes such as tyre tread or wiper blade warnings, indicating either meticulous presentation or limited scrutiny recorded. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural and mechanical components not captured by the clean certificate trail. The 2017 model's suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant physical checks for age-related fatigue despite no tester advisories. Examine underside for corrosion, particularly around sills and subframes, and confirm exhaust emissions match expected levels for the engine fitted. The unexplained fails on 15 and 16 September 2024 with zero defects suggest the seller should clarify whether the vehicle was presented with incomplete documentation or experienced a testing procedural issue; verify the V5C and DVSA portal before purchase.
