2003 Volkswagen Caddy 1.9L Diesel · AD53 DHO

The 2003 Volkswagen Caddy presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 5 June 2025 at 152,545 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clear results. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no outstanding advisories across the available history. Annual mileage sits close to typical expectations for a 23-year-old van. The records show 141,784 miles in May 2022, 145,059 in May 2023, 148,739 in June 2024, and 152,545 in June 2025. That equates to roughly 3,500 to 3,800 miles added each year, well below the 6,632 annual average implied by the total. The sparse but consistent entries suggest light commercial or private use with no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The MOT record carries no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, yet a 2003 vehicle at this age commonly hides rust in sills and chassis legs not caught in a pass result. Examine the underbody and load floor for structural integrity before purchase. Verify service history independently. Four consecutive passes with zero advisories can mask skipped consumable checks between tests. Inspect tyre sidewalls, wiper function, and exhaust emissions at the viewing to confirm the previous owner maintained the van beyond minimum legal compliance.
