VOLKSWAGEN CADDY2014 · 1.6L Diesel

The 2014 Volkswagen Caddy demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-26 at 82,722 miles recording a pass and no defects. The prior three tests from 2024-08-19 to 2023-08-05 also passed, though a failed test on 2023-07-31 at 66,954 miles—without recorded defects—suggests a potential unresolved issue. The absence of recurring mechanical failures in subsequent tests implies the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards, though the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny for underlying concerns not documented in the MOT record. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 6,894 miles annually over 12 years. The 2023-07-31 failure occurred just five days before a subsequent pass on 2023-08-05, with only 35 miles between tests, indicating rapid follow-up. The 2024-08-19 test showed a 6,103-mile increase from 2023-08-05, and the 2025-07-26 test recorded a 9,630-mile jump from 2024, both within normal ranges. The MOT history lacks gaps, suggesting consistent monitoring, though the 2023 failure’s unrecorded defects limit insight into its cause. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these often manifest gradually. Structural integrity, including corrosion in underbody areas, remains critical, as rust can develop unnoticed. While the MOT record shows no immediate risks, a professional inspection is advised to confirm the absence of hidden issues, especially following the 2023 failure.
