2006 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · AC04 OEY

The 2006 Volkswagen Caddy presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 22 October 2025 at 174,026 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. The vehicle cleared its final assessment cleanly, which suggests the prior failure was administrative rather than structural. Recorded mileage sits at 174,026 against a 20-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,701 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The records show a gap between December 2023 at 160,465 miles and June 2025 at 174,024 miles, a modest 13,559-mile accumulation over eighteen months. Earlier tests in December 2022 at 155,110 miles and December 2023 confirm steady annual use with no sudden high-mileage spikes that would accelerate drivetrain or suspension wear. The test on 18 June 2025 failed at 174,024 miles with no defects listed, and an identical zero-defect failure appears on 20 December 2022 at 155,110 miles. Such outcomes typically point to documentation or roadworthiness certificate issues rather than component failure. The owner corrected both within days via pass results, implying basic compliance was maintained despite the clerical slips. A buyer should still verify structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills in person, given the vehicle's age and commercial duty cycle. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue not captured in a clean MOT. Confirm the V5C and test certificate align, since the two zero-defect failures suggest prior administrative discrepancies rather than neglected mechanical care.
