2012 Volkswagen Motor Caravan 1.4L Petrol · WU12 AEK

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition. The most recent MOT test on 28 May 2025 at 37,531 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to June 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,681 miles per year. Between 30 May 2023 and 28 May 2025, the odometer increased by 7,968 miles, indicating a steady but light usage pattern. The brief failure and subsequent pass on 15 and 21 May 2024 occurred within five miles of travel, which typically points to a minor administrative error or a quick-fix consumable issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Low mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation caused by inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as components can seize when left stationary for long periods. Rubber components, including suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and coolant hoses, should be examined for perishing or dry rot. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either a very diligent maintenance regime or a tester who has been lenient. A physical inspection should focus on the chassis and underbody for structural rust, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the condition of the vehicle's structural integrity beyond the pass result.
