2016 Volkswagen Caddy 2.0L Diesel · A3 LNV

The Volkswagen Caddy presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 26 November 2025 at 35,096 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, showing no recurring advisories, corrosion, or mechanical faults. The vehicle cleared every pass test without the tester flagging suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity concerns. The recorded mileage sits low for a 2016 model. In the 15 November 2023 test the odometer read 18,953 miles. By 29 November 2024 it reached 25,293 miles, an annual gain of roughly 6,340 miles, then climbed to 35,096 miles by 26 November 2025, about 9,800 miles that year. The yearly use rose from the long-term average of 3,510 miles, yet the total remains light for the age. The sparse record shows only clean passes and two same-day failures logged with no defects, implying administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Low mileage with long standing periods risks perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and seized calipers not caught in a static test. The two failure entries on 29 November 2024 and 26 November 2025 at identical mileages to the passes suggest the van was presented, rejected on paperwork or minor non-mechanical grounds, then retested the same day, not a sign of owner neglect on consumables. Verify the service history matches the odometer jumps and confirm no hidden corrosion under the sills or around suspension mounts. The absence of advisories across three tests points to a structurally sound Caddy, but the rising annual mileage means drivetrain and clutch wear should be checked before purchase.
