2006 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · 348 TFC

The 2006 Volkswagen Caddy presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 September 2025 at 101,907 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows four consecutive annual passes with clean sheets. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage stands at 101,907 against a 20-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,095 miles per year. The DVSA data shows steady low annual use: 90,583 miles in September 2022, 94,580 in September 2023, 98,232 in September 2024, and 101,907 in September 2025. The only anomaly is a failed test on 21 September 2022 at 90,580 miles, retested and passed three days later at 90,583 miles with no defects logged either time, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair gap. Low mileage of this order often means long stationary periods, which can allow corrosion to take hold on sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points even when test sheets stay clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, brake discs, and suspension bushes given the vehicle's age. The absence of advisories across five years implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but MOT passes alone do not confirm intermediate servicing. Given the sparse and clean record, in-person checks should target hidden rust, perished rubber components, and binding calipers that a visual test may miss. The Caddy's history supports a sound used purchase, provided a pre-sale mechanical inspection confirms the underside and drivetrain match the paper trail.
