2013 Volkswagen Caravelle 2.0L Diesel · YN13 AZG

The vehicle is currently recorded as roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 18 October 2025 at 103 685 miles. The test noted thin rear‑brake pads and wear on the near‑side front suspension arm pin, yet no failure was recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend after earlier defects were addressed. Mileage averages roughly 7 900 miles per year, which is typical for a thirteen‑year‑old car. A notable anomaly appears between 22 September 2020 (58 970 miles) and 19 September 2021 (108 327 miles), where the recorded mileage jumps by over 49 000 miles in twelve months, suggesting either a rapid usage period or a possible odometer correction. The 30 August 2022 entry lists 124 801 miles, a figure that later falls to 103 685 miles in the 2025 test, reinforcing the likelihood of data inconsistencies rather than actual mileage reduction. Apart from these irregularities, the record shows a consistent pattern of annual testing with no prolonged gaps. A prospective buyer should focus on the rear braking system, confirming that pads and discs are within safe thickness and that there is no uneven wear. The front suspension arm pins and bushes, previously flagged for wear, merit a tactile inspection for excess play and visual assessment of the surrounding bushings. Given the 2022 coil‑spring fracture and corrosion of the rear exhaust silencer, the rear suspension and exhaust mounting points should be examined for cracks, rust, and secure mounting. Tyre tread depth must be verified, especially on the rear tyres that previously failed for insufficient depth, and the windscreen should be checked for damage that could affect structural integrity. Finally, all exterior lamps, including the central lower stop lamp, should be tested for proper operation to ensure compliance with current standards.
