2014 VOLKSWAGEN CADDY C20 TRENDLINE TDI1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 April 2025 at 193,494 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows no recorded defects or advisories across the last five tests. While the vehicle failed tests on 15 December 2023 and 12 April 2025, the absence of listed defects in the data suggests these were likely minor administrative or quick-fix issues rather than systemic mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging over 16,000 miles per year. The accumulation has been consistent, with a notable increase of approximately 10,000 miles between the November 2022 test at 163,384 miles and the April 2024 test at 183,313 miles. This high-use profile typically indicates a vehicle used for commercial purposes or long-distance commuting, which places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that often degrade at this mileage, regardless of a clean MOT sheet. Specifically, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these frequently perish on high-mileage Caddy models. Inspect the brake discs for thinning and check for any signs of binding calipers. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for corrosion on the chassis and sills is essential. While the MOT record shows no structural failures, the high mileage increases the likelihood of wear on the turbocharger and fuel injection system. Verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements to ensure the engine has been maintained beyond the basic legal requirements of the MOT.
