2017 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · 71 LED

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT history. The November 2025 test at 78,612 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester noted a deteriorating front registration plate. This follows a clean pass in November 2023 at 50,776 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has transitioned from a period of more frequent consumable replacement to a phase of relatively minor maintenance requirements. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle. The recorded distance has increased from 33,301 miles in December 2021 to 78,612 miles in November 2025. This represents an average annual mileage of approximately 11,300 miles over the last four years, which is slightly higher than the lifetime average of 8,735 miles but remains well within normal parameters for a commercial vehicle like a Volkswagen Caddy. There are no significant gaps in testing or evidence of sudden, excessive mileage spikes that would suggest irregular usage. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The records show a recurring trend of wear, with the December 2021 test flagging thin brake pads on all wheels and a nearside front tyre nearing the legal limit. By November 2022 at 40,488 miles, the tester identified thin pads on both the front and rear, alongside pitted or scored rear brake discs. While the subsequent 2023 and 2024 tests show no further brake-related advisories, the history indicates that the braking components have reached the end of their service life previously. Beyond the brakes, the most recent advisory regarding the registration plate is a minor cosmetic issue, but the history of tyre and brake wear suggests the vehicle requires regular attention to consumables. A thorough check of the current tyre tread depth and the condition of the brake discs and pads is necessary to ensure the previous maintenance cycles have been successfully completed and that no new issues have developed since the last test.
