2011 VOLKSWAGEN CADDY2.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 23 February 2026 at 173,720 miles with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories in the last three tests suggests the car is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without lingering mechanical faults. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 11,581 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 161,824 miles and the February 2026 test at 173,720 miles, the car covered 11,896 miles over approximately two years. This steady usage pattern indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The MOT record is exceptionally clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories since April 2024. While the February 2025 and February 2026 tests both show an initial failure followed by an immediate pass on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or very minor issues resolved instantly. There is no evidence of recurring failures regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the chassis and underside for surface rust, as MOT testers often overlook minor corrosion that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Given the high mileage of 173,720, checking the condition of the clutch and the service history for timing belt replacements is essential. The clean MOT history implies a level of basic care, but it does not replace the need to verify the interval of oil changes and drivetrain maintenance.
